Alright. I started a similar thread to this a while back but I wanted to revive the topic and see if anybody has done this. Before I start, YES I have seen the John Skinner vids on the tube, and yes I use it regularly, and yes it is an effective approach. However, I am always looking to try new things and have different things in my "tool kit". You never know when you may need to change things up.
If you goto youtube and search "surf fishing halibut" you will see on the west coast they use Lucky Craft Flash Minnows or similar baits on the beach, fishing for the almighty halibut. Now, I know they aren't the same but my guess is this technique could be potentially effective for our own flatties here in NC.
I plan on hitting the beach the next couple of days throwing a mullet pattern bomber long A 2-3ft bill to see what happens. I was just curious if any of you seasoned anglers have any experience doing anything similar to this.
I will be sure to keep you all posted with my results. Unless of course I massacre the fish and want to keep this weapon to myself!
Tight lines!!!
