In the future, I plan on doing the grubs but when available, walking the beach with an aluminum can around my neck that is full or sandcrabs so that I can interchange on my Carolina Rig.

The chances of making contact with the Corbs and Spotfins increase dramatically with the natural baits IMO.

Sand Crabs are kind of scarce around my stretch of surf right now but little black crabs are plentiful and get bit pretty well too.
