Sand Fleas are what the doctor ordered right now. Get some and get your line wet. Recently, I caught Reds, Black Drum and Sheepshead on them so I'm a believer. This bait is very versatile.
Here below are some tips for catching Sheepshead:
I can say this if you don't get it on the first bump you will probably only get one other chance "if that." If they're in the area they bite really quick and you usually only get one shot at setting that hook per fiddler crab. You've got to get a feel for it. Sometimes I set it on the first feel I get from the fish. Other times if they are slow biting; I might set the hook the second time they bump. Which every way you choose to go, you need to set that hook like you mean it or else the hook won't go through.
Fishing for sunfish is something I did a lot growing up. , I've never been ice Fishing nor Fly fishing but I am looking forward to getting some of those fish on my hooks.
My channel will show you the how to, Today whether you're in Wilmington, North Carolina, Myrtle Beach, Oak Island, Wrightsville Beach, Kure Beach, Outter Banks. OBX.The techniques you see here will also work in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia.

Thank You! A wonderful tutorial, you answered all the questions I had ; time of day, what to look for in shore line, maintaining them. You, Sir have my gratitude as one fisherman to another and wish you a long life of sharing, which we will all benefit from. Thanks, Kerry
Thanks Kerry. That’s very kind feedback. Happy fishing. Be kind to the fish.
So it's better at sunrise or sunset? My beach has hard sand are the hiding there too?
Mate! I’m on the west coast and it’s exactly the same!!’ Thanks for the rake tip. I’ve never seen them!!
This is by far the best "how to catch sand fleas" video on UA-cam. Finally, I know what to look for at the waters' edge! Thank you Chris
dick downs Thanks. Merry Christmas
I am an old once upon a time creek man. I used to dig clams, tong oysters, pull crab pots,etc... one tip I have seen for preserving bait is to boil water, add kosher salt, maybe a cup to a quart, let it cool ,then add another cup. If there are crystals in the pot, you are there. The water is totally saturated with salt. Pour this brine over your bait of choice and store in the freezer. It won't freeze and it won't spoil.
You can saturate your water with salt without boiling. The amount of salt that water will dissolve is based on the temperature of the water. So when the water cools the extra salt crystallizes back out of the water. Put a cup or more of pool salt per quart of water in a container with a lid. I shake it until no more salt dissolves then pour the water into your storage container. The water is saturated at room temperature. When you place it in the freezer some salt will crystallize on the bottom then you know it is saturated.
I've been watching these informative videos and learning about catching my own bait. Thank you for posting this....great video!
Just a tip...It's always been my experience that in the area where you find Sand Fleas, it'll also be an good spot to cast a line out into surf.. Humans aren't the only ones looking for the critters at that particular spot in the ocean waves....Usually, but not always, it'll be a excellent area for surf fishing....
Thanks for the tip! Makes perfect sense.
Wow! I've never known the strategy behind finding these little critters! Very interesting!
Good tips Chris, I try to look for V shapes in the sand on the wash side of the receding waves, need a new rake soon before this fall....
Outstanding video. No annoying music. Just to the point. A++...
Hey sir I livid in Fayetteville Nc I'm a fireman at City of Fayetteville found and subscribed to OD5 a month ago love watching your videos especially because when I do get to go to the coast to fish 6 or 7 times a year I fish same beaches!!!!
Thanks Chris. Thanks also for the work you do fighting fires and saving lives.
When I was maybe 10 years old a man at Carolina Beach showed me how to catch sand fleas by hand and remember using them to great success, but that was 40 or more years ago and I can't remember how I rigged them up.
Do you have any vids on deploying the fleas?
Great vid.
Great advice! Thanks for posting!
Thank you, Chris for posting this. I see now what to look for and will put the knowledge to work this weekend
Great! Let me know how it goes!!
I agree with Dick Downs, best video I've seen. Much better then my technique. I stand at the waters edge and try to follow as they barrow down as the wave washes back. I will use this tip from now on.
Thanks. Merry Christmas
That’s what I used to do! Never new about the rough part of the sand by the surf. Thanks for the great video!
Nice video. you were just raking them in! appreciate the details very much. thank you.
Thanks!
great video. Please people, do not take more than you need.
Good work 👍
Great video on finding fleas. I keep mine in a small styrofoam cooler. I place a frozen smart water bottle on one side of the cooler, then bury it with beach sand and fleas. I trade out bottles 1 or twice a day and the fleas have lasted over a week with this technique. Every couple of days I'll sift through the sand and pull out the dead ones, but I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
Sounds like a great technique. Thanks for sharing.
One of the BEST tips I've got so far! Thanks!
I found at Kure Beach, right under the pier, is a good spot to catch fleas!
Lol I'm at Kure Beach now and caught a bunch under the pier...small world
They this is great.. never knew how to read the beach for sand fleas. We call them "sea roach" where am from.
But what we do is get the inside of a fish, put it on a stick. and plant it in the same area where you rake and they all run to the stick. We wait for enough to come to the stick then we take up the entire stick with all the fleas around it.
That is very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas
Always kind of hard to spot them in the sand, thanks for the great video, will be out there tomorrow,!
Cool
Thanks man that helped a lot I'm in South Carolina right now , gonna try that tomorrow morning
Thank you for your video
Stellar, straight forward vid...thanks for sharing your knowledge...
Thanks Tom! Good luck!
Thank you Sir! I always find them when I am not looking for them
You’re very welcome!
Awesome video man. I don’t live too far from you so I’m looking forward to getting some sand fleas myself

NUNO BEAR Thanks. Merry Christmas
Great video my friend, these sand fleas makes excellent bait also.

nice vid man. thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thanks for commenting. I hope you have much success catching them.
Thanks for the tip on how to find them.
You’re very welcome!
this made everything so easy to understand:)
Very good young man! Thanks much....
low tide is easier, look for area deep hole (close to a foot) with soft sand, you can use anything bucket or strainer with a lot of holes ,dig into the sand try to scoop deep to get a lot o sand then rinse it, that is.
Dinh Chieu Nguyen Nice tip. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas
Thank you for the great video!
Great video! Thanks for you insight.
great video keep them coming
You’ll get more sand flea if you dig just as the water is going back out and the fleas are near the surface feeding.
Great how to video buddy
Nice Job, You Caught Quite A Few !!!
Thanks.
Good video, thanks for sharing.
Love big dog
Great video. Could you freeze them and then thaw them out when you're going to go fishing?
Thanks thats awesome!
My uncle always laid a damp sponge on top of the sand while storing fleas. I think it provided a little evaporative cooling?
Thank you sir!!
Very nice 👌 Thank you . They should stay alive a lot longer in the big blue bucket with the sand.
That was good info,, thank you !
Sure thing!
Best video I've seen, on this. Thank you, very much!!!
Good job
Thank you! Please feel free to share! 👍🏾

Tghere is a day limit on extraction, don't be cought with more...you loose money, fisjhing equipment and license.
Check with your local authorities first.
Good luck.

What seasons are they out there?
Realistic Fishing Great question. Food source I imagine. Merry Christmas
Great vid thanks
You’re welcome. I hope it helps.
Hey nice video! Are you able to catch sand flea in the winter or around now?
I think it depends on where you are but I can’t say for sure as I’ve only targeted them in NC.
My brother drag the net as the water is all the way in and it’s going back out u will
Catch much more
Noted. Thanks for the tip.
ty you the man!
Thanks Kevin!
Thanks bro 👍👍
My pleasure.
Thank u Brother
You’re very welcome!
Ok so last week every scoop got me bait yesterday not a one. We had been in a cold stretch and there was a front moving in. Any ideas why the beach was empty on sand fleas?
I wish I had an answer for that question. They appear to be as finicky as the fish. One day they are there and plentiful and the next day they are nowhere to be found. We fishermen are definitely the ever optimist. Thanks for stopping by
Man , thanks a lot , you answered my question about how to keep them for a few days
Thank you ,
I have one more question , is there a specific time to catch them or all day long ?
Sorry for delay. My best experience hasn’t been low tide where the tide has a good ebb and flow.
Wow those were very meaty. How far do I have to walk befor I find them
The walk is different every time. Sometimes you go out there and you see them right away sometimes you walk for what seems like a mile and you might not find any so no two trips are the same.Thanks for stopping by.
I’ve read that using a black light at night helps you to spot them - anyone try this?
When is the best time to catch #sand flees night R morning
For me low tide is the key not so much whether it’s day or night however it’s easier to see them and the impression that they making the sand during the day.
What do you keep the fleas in while your fishing?
In a Styrofoam cooler with dry sand.
They are sand crabs
Can I catch 🦐 shrimp standing on the shoreline
I haven’t at the beach. Usually rivers or inlets for me.
@@OnDayFiveFishing ok
Thx 🤗 u
It's not easy catching those Sand flees
When the next time you fishing an where
I can't catch them I am in Florida broward county area
Heads up Walmart has that scooper for 17
That’s a great price!!
You are looking the wrong way. You should be looking toward the sun, which makes spotting them easier. IMHO.
Good tip. I’ll take it.
i expected to see samuel L. Jackson. listening to your voice
Haroboomwerk1 LOL. Merry Christmas
SL Jackson, Nah. Denzel Washington Yea.@@OnDayFiveFishing
