Welcome to the forum.

Dont give up on Plaice Cove. You would be surprised what can come off that rockbed and ride the beach on a dropping tide. I beached my largest bass there. And 100 pound tuna have been landed on that beach too. Fish will ride the rockbed line, where it meets beach. There's really not much of a shoal, its sand, then rocks. Try plugging big wood plugs, or drifting whole or half mackeral. Herring and pogies too. I fish mostly at night, between 6 pm and 8am, so I cant help with daytime fiascos lol, but I can help ya with the darkness!
