I had a 35cm Plaice at Glenarm on Saturday, the brother had one at Red Bay last week.

from most of the best plaice marks on the east antrim coast a clipped down rig with reasonably long snoods, size 2 - 2/0 hooks normally best bait ragworm tipped with squid strip does the trick
distance fishing can help

I got mine on a 2 hook clip down rig with rag worm. It took the top hook which was a 1/0 - swallowed the complete hook, I had to cut the snood to get rid of the fish :? :?
