I've used bait and have all fluke season long with pretty good results. In particular I've been using frozen silversides from Fisherman's Den the fluke seem to love em in the inlet. I don't know why but I've seen a lot of guys using gulp and not do very well while I bring in a decent amount of fish. Not saying gulp won't catch just in my experiences there I've seemed to do much better with bait than the guys next to me using gulp. I also have only used plain offset fluke hooks on my rigs. No spinners, beads, or skirts. I also don't move my bait a whole lot I cast a little up current and probly half way across the inlet and let the current drift my bait for me 3-4 oz seems to work the best. Then as it starts to get more horizontal to me I'll start working it back to me a little at a time, most of the fish I've caught aren't in the middle, they're close to the shelf where the rocks meet the sand which makes sense because like any fish fluke like structure. I didn't notice anyone fishing for tog, but there were two groups of spearfisherman that all got their one tog limit when they came out. Nothing big most just looked a little over keeper size but they're there. And I completely agree about the robbins I actually think they taste better than the fluke and aren't far off from sea bass. I've fished this inlet all summer usually once a week or so when I can and not to toot my own horn but ive never seen anyone catch like I have while I'm there so I think I have the technique for this inlet down, at least for this year lol. Tight lines all!
