The wiki is spot on for Plaice and I never have issues getting them. I get them on pretty much any fresh bait in lake shallows on about any moon phase.I will say that there are times when they are near 100% of a catch and times when I might get 1:4 or 1:5. (Probably because I usually have a variety of fresh bait in the boat and don't keep close track to what I'm using on any one cast.) Just today I got less than half place with the rest being pike and an occasional roach. I've not done an intensive time study like on the
Moon Phase page, though, to verify any accuracy or changes. (To note, I have a harder time getting both eel and sturgeon, both of which are strictly tied to moon phases and/or time of day from what I can tell.)
You are fishing in the lake shallows, yes?
