    I spent every summer of my youth with my grandparents on the east coast of Florida by Jensen Beach. We caught sand fleas and would catch whiting by the dozen. I’m 60 now, but those are some of my best fishing memories . Thanks for the flashback!

    I find large sand fleas on the lip where the water breaks on the beach. About a foot farther out than you were digging. By far my favorite bait. I've caught bull reds, big uglies , slot reds pompano and hopefully I'll add sheepshead to that list soon. Tight lines!!!

    Planning on a trip in a few weeks to Corpus as winter has been unusually mild. Your videos have given us some great info on baits from fish bites to the sand fleas. Thank you

    Hey Matt, like you I was surprised to catch a nice 17" pompano last Tuesday (2/28) while fishing over the Orange Beach inshore reef nearest the Marina Rd. boat launch. My first inshore pompano.

    Two January's ago before the red tide swf was hot pomps, permit reds hopefully things will recover in time. Hopefully the red tide doesn't get that bad again. Bocca grande is still no where near what it used to be. Good fishing dudes🐟🌴💨

    I love your cart setup! I used to bucket it. As a kid I always enjoyed surf fishin..except for the bees! Really love monk fishin too but could only do that at -1 to -1.5..that like 5 x a year. Love pool fishin for rubber lips but teally gotta watch that tide or the hunter becomes the food! Good one!

    What brand circle hooks do you use? Maybe it's the camera and hook sizes vary based on manufacturer. What i see dosent look like a size 2 hook. Maybe a 2/0.

  • @christopherjenkins2373
    @christopherjenkins2373 4 роки тому +1

    I wish I was there to take those fish off your hands and eat them myself!! What a great video. Those whiting were absolutely beautiful. We don’t see those southern kingfish with the tail spot up here in NC. They really were quality fish. Very good video!

    Lol, my only question is, and I hope that they come foward, but probably won't because they're scared, is who in the world would dislike this or any of your videos? 3 dislikes from who? Aside from my venting about all of that, awesome video Matt! Awesome to see that you can still haul em in during these months! :)

    When I mess with a sand flea I have to drop it in the sand three or four times before it goes on a hook. Is that just me or do you edit that part?

    Do you still get catfish in the winter? I went surf fishing the other day (in Texas) and didn't get a single cat fish and caught some whiting. I normally get a few catfish.

    1st. There not sand fleas. There a sand crab, that's why they resemble a crustacean with a shell. But who new you could catch fish with them

    Can you tell me what kind of knot do you use is it a Snell that you use with your circle hooks also how do you hook your sand fleas through the Digger tail of the shrimp or what

  • @ncoutdooradventures6148
    @ncoutdooradventures6148 4 роки тому +2

    When you were showing how to hook a sand flea, all you mentioned was to be careful not to crack the shell. Are you bringing the point of the hook from the bottom, through the digger, and out the rear, top, of the bug?

    • @late6812

    Dude...I thought I was doing something wrong, and I was, I forgot to take my flee color off digging in the sand...sorry bro couldn’t help myself. Loved the video, I love those Pomp’s , great battle, and even better on the plate. You mentioned a couple of times you are using a steelhead rod, did you do a video on which one you are using? I always thought that would be an ideal stick for this type of fishing.
