see pics below.....

1, lever the shells apart with the back of a knife,
2, run a knife around the shalow part of the shell and under the 'pad',
3, slip the limpet forwards and out carefully,

best leave em a few days before shelling,

Saw an article in TSF about using slipper limpet for bass on Hayling after a storm. That bloke hammered loads of bass out but only after a storm. I suppose i have caught bass and cod on razor clams and caught wrasse and coalies on whelk so i cant see why you wouldn't catch. A few people over here use decaying clam to tip off for the dab to great effect with black lug.
