I used it today to fish an area that the shoreline is steep and private property.
I stood on the bridge and slung it out,drifted it out about 180 yards[diaw firewolf rod,glass,9.5 feet/ming-Yang CL-70 loaded with 290 yards of 30 mono] and let it slide to the left and hang it slacker water during the last 2 hrs of flooding tide.8 feet of 50 mono and a 6 inch sea shad.had 6 hits landed 4 fish,school size but it allowed me to fish an area that you only can fish by boat AND my car is 6 feet away from my back.
reel up,rod away and hop in and go.

I think you should patent that dangle fishing method RP. Then you could package it with some new plug or lure designed around it and sell it on an infomercial, you could get rich.
Or, it could end up as fill on the late night TV commercials. Hey you never know.
Dressing tins, when throwing tins in the fall surf, sometimes it's not needed to cast very far. When the conditions are that way, if I have a single hook on my tin I'll put a bucktail on it, or a white grub. Sometimes that's the ticket for getting the fish to hit it. You do lose some distance, so only do it if the fish are in close.
Thanks dogfish I'lll have to try that.
I think you should add the clambrella, clamzilla, and fishing window weights from the beach to some of these conventional tactics.

Dark, you should really consider putting some of these in a "best of' forum so we can find them in the winter.

Here are some more techniques that I came across the other night, and I hope it's all right with Mike O to share them with you guys. Remember, this is old-skool, and when the guys who fish this way aren't around any longer, some of it may be lost for good.......
