i know its cheeky to ask but after buying a load of gear before christmas and still not been out,i'm heading out after easter, and was wanting to know if anyone can point me in the right direction, had a few blanks on the last trips. any info would be great, i'm from belfast so can travel to antrim or down coastline. any info on setup would also be good. many thanks

try in around red bay there are reports of some good plaice being caught up there at the minute.mainly rag tipped with makerel or razor.any two hook trace ie:bomber rig with some sequins on will do the trick.cheers john
