Great SWS Article

Just spied this awesome article on muddy-water redfishing from Saltwater Sportsman.  Here's a good tip about an off-the-wall bait:

Crawl a Mudbug
Bait shrimp, even frozen ones, may not be available from midwinter to early spring, but large populations of crawfish will be, and like humans, redfish do eat crawfish!

Acquire the smaller bugs for redfish bait. Those between 3 and 3 12 inches long seem best. Buy them alive, put them in a small ice chest with a wet towel covering them, and keep them cool but not cold.

There's also a good tip about using skirted jigs tipped with shrimp.  One new one I'd recommend is the C&H Alien jig.

Can you really buy live crawfish in the Beaufort/Savannah area?
