Have just fished the first two hours of the flood at East Portlemouth. Caught 6 bass and one plaice all about 12 ounces. 4 bass bubble floating with a red gill and the other fish on king rag.

Where in East Portlemouth were you fishing? I'm fishing there tomorrow with a couple of mates.

Drive as far as you can and park in the National Trust car park. Walk on to the beach and turn left and fish by the first set of rocks you come to.

Opposite Salcombe in South Devon. I had not fished there before. Only fished there as the bass have not arrived yet at my normal venue. Was hoping to catch a plaice so was quite chuffed to catch one. Caught it on a one up one down with size 2/0 hooks that I usually use for bass rather than the rod I was using to target the plaice on which I was using coloured beads and size 4 hooks. Hope this helps.
