I know where I can get a bunch if them tonight on holden. Would they be good bait for the surf? How should I rig them? Should I tear off the pincher claws? What might I catch

I have been told reds love em.

Sea mullet, pompano, and assorted others love some sand fleas.



N0 4 gold hook for pomps

If u all READ his post I believe he Asked should he tear of a pincher claw...I have yet to see a Sand flea with a pincher claw.
But, Personally I have found that Drum
...Both black and red...and Sheepshead will munch a Fiddler crab...try crushing them just a little...to get the smell percolating in the suds.
Hope it helps.

I fish them a lot and have caught red, black drum, sea mullet, pompano, blues and flounder on them.

On these...............?

Whether he's talking about bandits or sand fleas the advice here doesn't change much as they both work well for several species in the wash.

For big red drum in the surf, it's hard to beat rigging up a blue crab. Kills the cast but catches fish.

 

[Brenardo]

Big reds run close to your feet at times anyway. No need for super man casting anyway

What rig setup is everyone fishing crabs with?

 

[Brenardo]

How ever you like to fish sand fleas should work

In the surf a two hook bottom rig is king. Not the store bought ones. Hand tied.

On a good day.
