Plaice Fishing in March for many, is a great outdoor activity, but sometimes things don’t go as planned. Recently, We found ourselves experiencing this first-hand during first trip out targeting the early plaice fishing trip of the year. Despite arriving at the shore with high hopes and waking up early, the water was calm and the wind was hardly blowing. I was initially optimistic about catching some plaice, but as the day progressed, it became clear that it just wasn’t our day. we tried different baits and changed locations, but nothing seemed to work.
As the hours passed, our frustration grew. It felt like we were wasting our time and that we should have stayed home instead. However, just when we were about to give up, something unexpected happened. We started to connect with the bass that were in the shallows.
It was a slow start, but once we figured out that they were there, we started catching fish after fish. It was like a switch had been flipped and suddenly, all of our efforts were paying off. It was an incredible feeling. However, even though we were excited about our catch, we made sure to release all the bass we caught back into the water. Catch and release for bass is the law during February and March, and it’s important to follow the rules and take care of our natural resources here in North Wales so that we can continue to enjoy fishing for many more years to come.
