Beachwalker..... Yes, there is a distinct method to livelining plover. First and formost, you have to find a hole off the beach with a bar that is wadable on the outside of the hole..
The following is taken from Frank Daignault's life's work... "Plover Surf"
"What you do is cast your plover into the wash and let it flutter in about 3 feet of water. The retrieve is similar to a needlefish. Slow and steady, letting the trashing of its wings do the work for you.. Now in the plover off season, us Swamp Yankees use Rhode Island rigged plovers. Rigging plovers is pretty much like rigging an eel, except you have to make certian that the plover is fresh. A gamakatsu plover-pus 6/0 live bait hook stuffed through its beak is the normal set up for ploving... I prefer to use a teaser made from california condor tail feathers, and sprinkle a little spotted owl blood on as an attractant."
