In the North West, most of my fishing involves using lures in estuaries or on the flood of the tide pushing through gullies on open beaches. I've had considerable success this year "bumping" a Dexter or range vibe with a small teaser along the bottom (just purchased some Picol'eau Eels to do the same job) when the flow gets too strong
BUT
It's not exactly fun. Are there any plugs that hold well in a cross current? The smaller Tide Minnows do well cast uptide and let swing round, as do the Z-Claw and most surface lures but what I'm looking for is something that doesn't catch the tide from side-on that I can retrieve with the flow. Not the best explaination I'm sure but ideas please! Or are there any other methods of fishing venues like this that I haven't been aware of?
