				Without giving away too many secrets...can anyone tell me where to catch some live bait off of Mashes Sands.  I'm spending too much time trying to track down a live pinfish.  The frozen stuff just isn't the same.
Thank you!  in-advance

				You should be able to catch live pin fish anywhere there is 3 to 5 feet of water and grass on the bottom. I'm not that familiar with Mash's Sands, but I'm sure it can't be much different than Panacea, or Bottoms. Try a small piece of squid, or FishBites on a bream buster with a #12 hook.
Hope this helps.

				I had the same problem a few weeks ago since I normally don't put in there.  Since then people have told me to go out to the shoals and I could catch all the pinfish I want.  That would be east-souteast of the southern channel coming out of the river where you see grass mixed with sandy bottom.  Fish in the grass because that's usually were the pinfish hang out.
