    Nice, love that red hue! I didn’t cook mine long enough when I blanched mine. Now I know with they float, they are done!

      Fish Gum I’m sure you can boil them for less time...this method works best for large quantities

    Just watched your vid. Did not read all comments but did your friend stick his hand in boiling water and pluck a flea out. Nice.

    Blanching is the worst way to preserve unused bait as you just boiled scent and flavor out of the bait. I know some old timers do it and they can be successful. However pomp’s feed by sight, smell and taste. Blanching takes 2 of those away. There is a much better way. Try pickling. It reserves scent color and taste. Boil DISTILLED water not tap or hose water and kosher non iodine salt. Do not use table salt. Boil the distilled water and keep adding kosher salt until no more salt can dissolve in the water and let cool. Find a good reusable container I like food jars because the lid holds tight and you can see what’s in it. Add fleas and top off with brine. Store in freezer. Will keep for well over a year without freezing. I owned a tackle shop in south Florida and am now a commercial fisherman. I don’t share many tips because many times it costs me money. However this video was painful to watch. Please save the boiler for crawfish. The wife will thank you in the end.

    I always just put them in a zip lock and freeze them straight, without blanching. Maybe I try blanching next time, interesting

    Technically, they're fully cooked. Anything you fully cooked them will float to the surface, even when you deep fry. Except heavy products like bones will not float.

  • @TheAssaultcraft
    @TheAssaultcraft 4 роки тому +2

    Could you use food saver bags

    • @SaltSquatch
      @SaltSquatch  4 роки тому +3

      Yeah, because they are cooked the bag helps the sand fleas from getting freezer burnt and losing that good flavor/scent for fish

  • @lukemedeiros8462
    @lukemedeiros8462 4 роки тому +1

    So don’t bring the water to a boil? And can you refreeze the ones you don’t use?

    • @SaltSquatch
      @SaltSquatch  4 роки тому +1

      We did bring the water to a boil and wait till the float to the surface to remove. You can keep refreezing the ones you don’t use

  • @kevinward508
    @kevinward508 4 роки тому +1

    +- how long do you let them dry out??

    • @SaltSquatch
      @SaltSquatch  4 роки тому

      Just long enough to take the moisture away to avoid freezer burn

  • @davidturner7040
    @davidturner7040 4 роки тому +2

    Hey guys , here I can't get fish to bite on cooked bait, I put them in a small bucket full with water then freeze .

  • @chupacabbra5606
    @chupacabbra5606 2 роки тому

    i thought a main purpose of hooking the sand flea in the scent sac was so the fish would smell it.

  • @chucksmith5002
    @chucksmith5002 4 роки тому

    So if I Blanch some and take two different sizes and one size doesn`t do well can they be refroze after they have thawed out

    • @SaltSquatch
      @SaltSquatch  4 роки тому

      Yeah, because they are cooked they will refreeze fine

  • @franksflytraps
    @franksflytraps 5 років тому +1

    would foodsaver bags (sucking the air out)work better for storage?

    • @SaltSquatch
      @SaltSquatch  5 років тому

      I’m sure it would even be better but those foodsaver bags can get pricey!

  • @tajma70
    @tajma70 3 роки тому +1

    I want to see someone catch fish with blanched sand fleas. I've never heard of fishing with cooked food. I'd rather dry them then put them in the freezer the keep the original smell of them. From what I understand it's the scent of them that attracts the fish. I'm not sure though. This is all new to me.

    • @SaltSquatch
      @SaltSquatch  3 роки тому +1

      We have caught many pomps on blanched sand fleas. Check out Joey Antonelli or Capt. Matt Budd...both destroy pomps on blanched fleas.

    So clear this up: the water sure didn't look like it was boiling, and the guy put his hand in the water more than once? Boiling?

      It was not a rolling boil but it was really hot. He has a high pain tolerance lol

    • @Amethyst.
      @Amethyst. 3 роки тому

      but during the winter you cant catch them so if you wanna fish during winter you save up of sand flees so when there are no sand flees (during winter) you can use the ones you saved up in the summer or spring beforehand. so that's why, also you might be thinking that they are saving it for the next year when they can still find the sand flees but they are saving up for winter when the sandflees are not out and about

  • @chrissewell1608
    @chrissewell1608 3 роки тому

    You guys don't cook much, do you? You are cooking them, in boiling water. Just like crab legs, or crawfish, in a pot! "Blanching" them is the process of dunking them into an ice bath. This stops the cooking process, and does not allow for carry over heat, to continue to cook them. Then you proceed with your storage methods. freezing, pickling,..what ever!

    • @SaltSquatch
      @SaltSquatch  3 роки тому +1

      We catch fish on them using our method. End goal is the same.

      Much respect to you guys down south... watching your video I decided to try it up here at Coney Island beach in Brooklyn, NY and so far sand sharks and stripe bass has been caught. I just did what you illustrated and was wondering the “orange slim vein” on top dried tried up... would you recommend cut them in half before putting on the hook because everyone seems to say the same thing it’s the scent that’s being released into the water. ? Any advice would be great thanks. Tight lines!

    • @SaltSquatch
      @SaltSquatch  3 роки тому

      Yes, cutting them in half can be very effective for scent release
