In the past there has been a lot of scepticism regarding the worthiness of frozen and preserved bait, leading to a lot of anglers disregarding it.

With the rain and otherwise unpleasant weather they got to their venue and found themselves alone. Facing the inclement weather paid dividends as between them the caught three Plaice and a fantastic Ballan Wrasse. Mullet580's second Plaice was a formidable catch and later weighed in at 2lb-13oz-8dr which beat the previous Brixham Sea Anglers Club junior record set in 1972. A fantastic day's fishing for the pair and a worthy bonus point for the species hunt for both of them.
