			Phat, we don't use the edible shrimp or clams, we used the grass shrimp for Stripers and Weakfish (maybe your Speckled Trout) and like you said, certain baits we can't find any longer.  Those huge sea clams, I don't know where they get them but they are all covered in black mud and I don't think are edible.  We were able to buy the clams in the shell, now the are shucked by the bait and tackle shops, put in a bag and salted, so they charge twice as much.
 
 See if these Weaks are like your Speckled Trout or Sea Trout?
 
 
 Now that Sea Bass sounds delicious, ENJOY!!!!
