How to Catch Hidden Fishing Bait on the Beach

In this video, I am going to teach you how to catch hidden beach bait to catch more fish on the beach. The bait we are targeting is sand fleas. These little creatures roam the beaches up and down the coast of Florida. The sand fleas move throughout the surf zone and bury themselves in the sand as the tide and waves move up and down. I used a grated metal rake to catch these creatures. They make great bait for many different species of fish, especially for pompano!

I don’t think you really need the rake, but it definitely helps, I always dig holes in the sand, and whenever a wave runs over it, a bunch come out

Sand crabs are pretty nice for catching sea-gulls.
