    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!

    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

    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!!!

    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!

    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?

    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.
