I like the minnow/shrimp idea. Fresh shimp is fresher and it definitely makes a difference scent-wise to a fish as opposed to frozen. If there's not a grocery store nearby then bait shop shrimp is fine.If I do a double rig, I might rig up a minnow and a shrimp to cover all bases. Any advantage to fresh shrimp over the frozen from the bait shop?
Thanks.
I stole the fresh shrimp idea from this article from Jeffrey Weeks (NC surf fishing legend).

"For bait use fresh shrimp or Fishbites bloodworms or both. When I say fresh shrimp I mean fresh shrimp from the seafood market you would normally eat. Do not buy previously frozen “bait” shrimp or buy shrimp from the supermarket unless you know it is local. It may sound silly but fish know the difference and really fresh local shrimp will out-fish frozen shrimp 10 to 1."
