Perhaps this will help: Translated version of http://www.apneamagazine.com/articolo.php/1622 (or not).

I just put together a flasher made from leftover spoon handles (I used the bowls to make flounder spoons) which are reminiscent of sandeels; a big fishing weight (5oz, recovered from the sea) to keep it down & stop it tangling (the 10oz weight on a Lidls handline might be even better) & a couple large muppets (cheap rubber squid-like lures) to hide the weight & add variety. Although it occurs to me now that Eddystone/Delta eels, or cheap copies, w/o hook might also attract bass/mullet/pollock. Holographic feathers might work too -- saw pollock smashing small silver fry (only visible as quick flashes of silver) last year & mullet were often hanging around nearby when the small silver fry were about.

i do alot of bay fishing, in texas before hurican Mitch the seas where extreamly calm off shore and in the bays, i speared 3 mahi mahi over 40lbs in 2 days IN THE BAY!! i couldent balieve it... the only problem was the sharks where also every where (not normal eaither... i think its probly just a crazzy fluke in weather makeing perfect conditions for blue water fish to come inland....

I like the idea of deploying a sort of small FAD while shore diving, I think I'm gonna try build one, has anyone tried this? I was thinking a small simple float and weight with flashers in the middle, I'm thinking maybe that was mentioned in this thread...but was wondering if it was meant as a standalone device that you leave for a while or was it an attachment to a float and gun line?
