Its good to rediscover this board after a long time!

I know how well wire line jigging works around Billingsgate and at Race Point, however I was wondering what alternative tactics work for lighter tackle. I've surfcasted for years at Race Point with sand eels, live eels, plugs etc. and am wondering if similar tactics will work from a boat.

Does anyone drift live eels or sand eels in these spots with any success? Given the success with sand eels from the beach, it seems that drifting them would work well too. If so, any particular tactics or methods? I will likely go wire as well, but would like to try some other methods.
