You caught as a subscriber with your perseverance & early morning rise to do this video. Sandfleas 101, 102 & 103. WHAT LESSONS TO BE LEARNED! Well done, Sir! Side note: You are going for a "saturated solution", therefore the additional salt won't make an ounce of difference in refrigerated concentration for preservation. However, it never occurred to apply this principle to avoid freezing. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WISDOM!!

[@alyssa0411]

I don’t even live near the beach or fish….but I somehow found myself here and completely engrossed in how to preserve those sand fleas.

[@chriswiltse2281]

the salt content on its own should be enough to preserve them without taking up freezer space. dry salting baits is great too because it pulls all of the moisture out and makes shrimp (for example) tougher which helps it stay on the hook better. as always nothing will ever be better than fresh, but runners up are nice for us who can't make it to the beach on a regular basis.

Keep it simple less is more

[@frankiev-tech4630]

Wow amazing! What a great way to preserve sand fleas...maybe I should try this with crabs as well.

[@BLACKRAIN390]

Did it work, with the fiddlers

[@F35-B]

​@@BLACKRAIN390 Tried it, and it does work, just put new water in every once in a while. My god does it stink though 😂

[@NoleYakin]

Been doing this for a couple years love it

[@jbm135]

This technique works for shrimp and finger mullet too. It is NOT the same as just salting your bait. It keeps them much fresher smelling than just salt. Another note is that the salt concentration is not improved by boiling the water. When the water cools the salt dissipates out of the water. Just add salt to cold tap water and then freeze. Not to mention that boiling salt over on the stove is not good for marriages.

[@FYRSTWAFFEN]

LOL!

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

Great tips.👍 I'm going to start salting all of my left over baits.

[@RebelRascalsailor]

Awesome video!!! I'm always struggling with keeping fleas "fresh" for any length of time, so this simple method will really help me to retain usable bait after I've kept and used them alive for a few days. Thanks for the great videos!

[@Floridamarty]

Canning and pickling salt I have been told specifically dissolves more easily than kosher. IDK if it's true, but I do know it's cheaper than kosher and supposed to be only pure salt. Thank you for the info, I will try it soon.

[@leelunk8235]

YOU POURED THE WHOLE BOX, JESUS CHRIST

[@nilsaramos7531]

great video, one question . were the sand fleas alive when you put them in the salt solution?

[@FishGum]

They were in the refrigerator for 2 days, I think they were fresh dead.

[@FYRSTWAFFEN]

THANKS FOR SHARING!

[@eclecticmusica]

Great tip. Am I wasting my time looking and digging for sand fleas in Miami Beach? I could hardly find any sand fleas in Hollywood Beach north of here (about 16 miles) and now I moved down here. Just asking.

[@eclecticmusica]

@@CarlosRuiz-ue9rb Gracias, Carlos. I'll give it a try.

[@BLACKRAIN390]

Do it work with fiddler crabs

[@ronmckinney4334]

Wowwww ❤man. I wonder if I can do this with shrimp?? I’m gonna try it with shrimp

[@1Divinelyinspired]

Great info!! So what time of year?Water temp etc is best or all year round? I am in Englewood Fl on a barrier island and there are some here but very hard to get decent amounts and size...just trying to figure out why...nice long private white sandy beaches too so?? Thanks.

I’ve “ dry salted “ shrimp for years to use surf fishing because they never go bad and stay on the hook far better than fresh , but I’ve never tried super saturation , gonna have to give it a whirl .

[@FYRSTWAFFEN]

AND THE FROZEN MUG! LOL

[@stevelincoln91]

Will this work with Shrimp or minnows

[@pinefloatoutdoors]

Thanks for the tip👍

[@dougstarkey7128]

It’s called a supersaturation yes some of the salt will settle out but it still retains a surprising amount of salt in suspension

[@rosariofishing]

Let's gooo 🎣

[@flea-flickersfishing9415]

Did you boil the sandfleas first or where they alive before you put them in the salt slushy water?

[@saltwateryankees2000]

Good to know

[@milobryant437]

Can you do shrimp like this

[@crankmastermason7325]

Yes

[@williecolon9678]

Just saw this video, how well do they stay on the hook?

[@michaelrigsby5191]

Can you do fresh shrimp the same way?

[@crankmastermason7325]

Yes

[@TheCrunchbird]

Great video. I am guessing that one could also use this brining method to preserve small bait fish and shrimp. I hope you have an understanding wife, mine would have given me Hell for messing up the stove!

[@Tigdude]

Not if you clean it 😅

[@PopPopJoe]

After brining why do you still keep them in brine?? Couldn't you just freeze them after brining?? Just wondering??

[@antbee410]

Can you do this with fresh shrimp?

[@FishGum]

Yes

[@LUCILLEPILLAY]

Can you do this with ghost shrimp?

[@robertrizzuti6044]

How long can you keep them this way?

[@Michael_Rory_Cameron]

never rinse any bait in fresh water, unless its a freshwater bait

[@lucianolorenzo8395]

I thought it take hours for the boiling water to just warm

[@rsaxon1711]

Does this work on shrimp, squid and other small fresh dead baits? Thawing and unthawing bait each day to try to keep it as fresh as possible is pain.

[@nininike]

I want to know the answer too, I guess we’ll just find out ourselves

[@ReelPursuitFishing]

Keep me updated lol I’m curious too

[@johnwitsch8900]

Sand flea preserve

[@jamesbrown5262]

is it possible to peel them and just eat the meat?

[@cowmancheese]

Alot of people have done that yes, peoples comments range from florida, mexico, hawaii, and the philipines from what ive seen. The procedure that makes the most sense is to either let them sit in water long enough to poop and empty their bowels, or just peel their main shell and their shovel on the stomach and clean the guts out after. Some people said they even rip the tips off the feet because its mostly shell. I havent tried it yet but i believe this would actually make them taste good, as most youtubers who do it fry them whole, so theyre eating the poop and guts. When you eat a shellfish and you get nasty guts its also disgusting, so why not these guys? Most people fry them after coating in batter or flour and just eat them whole after preparing them

[@rynhardduplessis6535]

You must be single 😂😂😂no woman will allow stove, strainer and fridge to be used😂😂😂

[@PaulGriffin-ox1gp]

Do something similar with minnows just not as much water and a lot more salt. Also any plain salt only will work. No additives like iodide or enhancer.

[@NoNORADon911]

''Kosher''

[@user-qg2uf8jp3h]

Excellent Recipe for sand fleas. I prefer them roasted, with a touch of curry & parsley... delicious as a snack for ice cold-beer.

[@Mrdoodiehead007]

Is there any benefit to blanching them first?

[@FishGum]

I think you do either do one or the other. I have never blanched fleas before however those I know who do it to preserve fleas a long time. The mistake people make when blanching fleas is they don’t let the sand fleas completely dry before freezing them. This will make the sand flea stronger than if you pop them in the freezer right if they are still wet.
