Ah, I always thought it was corn and cream in a can,hence I have never opened one because I like corn!

If its salt water there has to be crabs,like spiders on land your never more than a meter from one.

Net some and take a look what they are eating Munsey, yea fight pretty well for a short burst like terakey.

Its Terror ki!!!

Used to catch lots of flounder in the UK which are similar to the ones here and feed on worms, small crabs and other crustaceans.
We used to catch them in estuaries and on sandy beaches, often at night.
Also used to catch some from a shallow bay at night, would use the spot light to see them on the bottom, then cast a worm that I'd dug from the beach to them which was quite successful.

Your onto it Gibo

Cream Corn kernel or a Cooked Pea on a tiny hook, no sinkers, just let it free float in the current.

I should have mentioned that I have tried to catch one and failed miserably . I did try a cooked pea as I was told that they go crazy on them . There where tons of flats in where I was fishing , a shallow bay and they where skipping out of the water in front of boat . Didn't try the corn . Kind of like the idea of the fly rod , I see on the fish form link a blood worm bead head nymph ? Is that common to find in a fly fishing shop ?

I have heard a doll fly on a sinking line. Draw it across the bottom in short bursts so it kicks up the mud.
