 I arrived at Ferrybridge at 8:30am on low water but still had a good 40minutes walk to my mark, which has been coming up with the goods over the last couple of weeks. I eventually made it to my mark and had my rods in the water by 930am. I didn't have a bite for the first hour or so but as soon as the tide started to run the bite come along and first up was a gurnard  Not long after this I had a plaice that i was targeting , on a loop rig with rag/squid                     This was soon follwed by another of similar sze and I also missed a really good knock around this time I then had to wait a few hours for a rattle followed by slackliner , this happend for 5 casts in a row and the first 4 knocks I had nothing to show and was thinking I have either developed a knack for missing plaice or its bream...thankfully on the 5th slackliner it was proved to be the latter  Time was now getting on and just before dark I had a good knock , it was in fac

I wouldn't normally go to this end of the beach for plaice fishing but it seems to be chucking a few out so gave it another go after having a couple out last weekend, Loop rigs were working better last week so made a few up with stronger snoods ! Rag dungy and squids were the baits . It started really well with both rods getting knocks on my first casts landing one but missing the other . I then had anther good knock about 20 minutes later resulting in another plump plaice both coming to ragworm. I was to miss a few knocks for the next hour ,until a rod dropped back and I was to land my 3rd plaice of the morning with the top hook also missing! while I was getting this one in I noticed my other rod line was slack and thought I may have pulled it in so straight on to that rod but it was in fact another plaice with a spider crab on the top hook ! So after a few hours fishing I was thinking this could be a really good day ..... pffffffffffffff For
