Techniques - unconventional

^^ Very good. That is an old secret technique. When I first started fishing the old timers did that from the bridges.

Anyone ever try a live eel with a small sluggo on top?

Rockhopper, I'm sorry that no one answered this, and I just saw it. Fishing live eels requires concentration so they don't ball up on you. Respectfully, the technique you're describing is a recipe for disaster. Too much can go wrong, and it just doesn't make sense to me. Hope that helped.

1.wanna fish a bucktail waay out and not worry about hitting bottom?,,
2. how about being able to sling a sluggo out to nearly or at 100 yards or
more?,,
3. what about fishing a large streamer fly waay out and having no problem
getting out there 300 feet?

well heres how you can do it!

what I do is use my tried/true dangle method,thats right I said dangle
damn it!

a. Take a tennis ball and drill a 1/16th hole through both sides of it.

b. Take your leader[I like 30 inches-5 feet long]and tie a barrel swivel on
one end.

c. Take a bait needle and tie it to the other end.

d. Push the bait needle through the tennis ball pull the leader through
till the barrel hits the tennis ball.

e. At the other side of the tennis ball cut the leader leaving more than
enough to tie on another barrel swivel.

f. Tie another barrel swivel onto the bottom of the tennis ball.

g. Now,all you have to do is tie on a bucktail,sluggo or small jig using
your choice of leader length to fish waay out with ease. as I do,I like
to put on a 3/4-1 oz smiling bill and sling it out,let it drift waay out
there and then either employ my "do nothing method" or work it back
slowly.

h. This really works well with a 8 inch saltwater assassin sea-shad,I like
to have 4 feet of leader and do nothing waay out or slowly bring it
in,they really whack the **** outta it!

Solid info here, thanks for posting.
Along those lines, when the area is rocky you can also drift a pogy from shore with a balloon if the wind is at your back .

Another variation of this is to use balloons. These crazy Australians got a sailfish balloon fishing off a cliff.

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.
