Just a question, what are you catching with the sand fleas, I've never used them?

Dang good bait for Sheepshead.

V-Bottom, agreed on the sheepshead. In the vid it shows fishing in the surf and never have used them there, any insight to what would chase them on the beach?

May be common in your area, but not the Texas coast. I have bought sand fleas in the past for fishing huge black drum in the winter, but I have never heard of anyone catching them on the Texas coast.
