I was using a drop shot technique to get the herring down - I normally
don't drop shot a lot preferring more natural techniques with
artificial lures - this live bait thing has been an experience.

I use the drop shot to get a chunk of bait or even a live minnow if I
have one...down to the bottom, but not actually on the bottom...maybe a
foot or less off the bottom. It's a killer for flounder.

I don't do a lot of fluke fishing. *I have a few fluke rigs, but very
seldom use them.

Just something about fluke fishing annoys me for some reason. :)

It's probably more related to the kind of guys who fish for fluke

Maybe. I use big baits looking for big fish and always catch shorts
or marginal keepers. :)

Frustrating.

I know those big doormats are out there - I see other guys catching
them - I just can't seem to get the right drift or something.
