We catch a lot of Plaice, but of course, that is what the Skerries are famous for, however, we also catch them closer to home at less than a mile from the slip.
I guess point one is that I rarely use worm for plaice (worm attracts too many small fish of other species), my goto baits are cocktails of mack strip tipped with squid, or frozen king prawn (Morrisons), tipped with squid.
Although you can catch them at anchor, on the drift is by far the most productive, the drift speed ideally should be 1 - 2 knts
Rig wise, I dont use spreaders, the rig is a simple running ledger on a zip slider with a hook length of about 12" to 18". Not too much bling, maybe 6 - 10 beads, sometimes green / Black, sometimes Red/Yellow, just depends on what I lay my hands on first !
The hook length is 20lb fluoro, and the hook is usually a 1/0 Sakuma 550 or 560. I loop connect the hook length to the link swivel, as deep hooked fish can often be unhooked by passing the hook out through the gills.
Although the MLS is 27cm, we rarely keep anything under 35cm.

well boats been on the slip way up our club for just over a mounth now i only brought it in for what  needed doing  boat still there so removed the old cutless bearing as gone real bad it does not help with the real muddy water up hear  its like valve grinding paste thats another story fitted new cutless and realign engine back to the shaft thats all done noticed a little oil leak coming from the exhaust manifold so pulled that of to fit a new one but when i took it of the gasket looked ok so next i took the rocker box of to find all the valve sealed all sitting differnt on the vales so ordered new head gasket top end set pulled the head of and it looks like the gasket give way from a oil port to the outside edge of the gasket took all the valves out new valve stem seals and had the seat all the valves again with valve grinding paste  so put it all back together now just waiting on the big tides this weekend coming to see if its ok happy boating all 

Bad taste! Geoff.

Handy for nobbling those pesky pests. Unfortunately the alarm gun can't fit a full cartridge, just the short blanks but guaranteed to cause underwear to be messed-up 

Hell yeah!
I have a run set up next to the wood shed made of loose bricks and one in the garden shed to stop any attempts to settle in our cosy accommodation. 

Thanks Andy 135, it’s a shame that there is friction between the two sites as I know many people view and contribute to both, I will contact “seabob “ and ask if he’s prepared to put it on here as it is the best description and tutorial for navionics users I’ve seen ,particularly aimed at small fishing boats,not excessively complicated and straight forward even for technophobes like me. Don’t understand the friction as the sites are completely different in content , and format and don’t compete. But there none as queer as folk as they say!!!.
 
 
 

Hi @Phil williams, copyright forbids us from copying content on other sites without permission, and I'm fairly sure that one admin in particular over there won't grant permission. 
However, if you'd like to approach seabob and suggest he posts the same content over here that would be welcome. As the content creator he can post his content wherever he chooses 👍

I'll PM you. 

That is because sea water, sand, and stainless hydraulic rams are not a loving combo !

Certainly not the amount of bling that you would you for Plaice !
I usually use a couple of small lumi beads above the hook, and a small metal attractor blade just to give it the flash that attracts the Turbots attention. Most Turbot inline spoons are really quite large, which is a pain in a strong tide flow.

Oh, that's a bit different, most of the other recommendations I have heard before. 
We know that there are fish inshore and although most are little saucers there are bigger ones being caught from the shore. It's a long strip of sand with heavy rock either end and well offshore the trawls pick them up, however we do get lots of launce and there are some good areas of tide with reasonable banks of sand etc so the potential is there so we need to change tactics and area to see whether they are there. 

I would be looking for a reasonably fast tide that is flowing over a bank, and then fish on the bank slope where the Turbot will wait for the food to be brought to them by the tide.
If launce are in evidence, all the better as that is their favourite food, we even cut long Mack and/or squid strips to look like launce.
The best substrate is a sand gravel mix, i.e. extremely coarse sand, almost gravel.
Another place you will often find Turbot in hiding in the scour of a wreck, so again, a reasonable fast tide area where food will be brought to them with very little effort on their part. However, scours are notoriously difficult to fish on the drift.
Rig wise, a simple running ledger, using a watch lead to create maximum sand disturbance, and a 3ft flowing trace with a bit of bling. I have tried spoons but cannot detect any difference in the catch rate.
Smaller Turbot are quite willing feeders (3lb - 5lb) but the larger fish are a fair bit more fussy and everything needs to be just right. My biggest is 13lb, however, I fish an area where a 30lb fish is more than a possibility.
I don't normally post pics of Turbo's as it quite often easily gives the location away 🙄
Here is Kyle with a 5lb plus fish, this was May 2020, I moved the boat by a couple of miles to take the pic ................

Just links to his profile page as far as I can see. I don't have a FB account so may be different for those signed up?

Yes, the Corel software used to be Ulead video studio which has been around for almost 20 years, and Corel didn't feck it up when they bought it which is a bonus.
I assume you are shooting in 4k30 and then outputting in 1080p ( vid studio does that automatically). 
Another editing suite to have is Davinci Resolve (free version) by Black Magic design, this is used by professionals worldwide and can quickly do stuff that Corel struggles with.
Have you had any over heating, or turn off issues with your GoPro11 yet ?
I am now using a DJI Action 4 camera and still learning its foibles. The quality of the standard video is excellent, but I might try out the D-log 10 bit function and then bring in the colour profile with LUTS (Look up Tables) when doing the edit. Doing it that way, if you wanted, you could make the English Channel look like the Caribbean !
 

You can a day shape but most other vessels ain’t got an idea what they are… but that’s what the horn is for 😁😁😁😁

I chose to ignore it 🤣🙄😇😇😇

I could buy 7 times and still have change lol 🤣
