Re: Sand Fleas How to see them and catch them
Hi, im new to flea raking. just got one from the tackel store. I tried raking them at night with a headlamp and only got one scoop full in a four hour period just south of oakland park but i walked 7 miles total Oakland to sunrise, sunrise back to commercial, then back to sunrise and back to oakland. It was exhausting and i only have enough for one day. any advice would be appreciated pm me you can recomend any other spots around ft lauderdale to north miamiish. thanks

I was there 10:30 ~ 11:30 PM 0.5 mile between Sunrise and Oakland. There were many pods of sand fleas. I think you may not be familiar with finding V's.

Re: Sand Fleas How to see them and catch them
I went out to the exact same place (Sunrise and Oakland) about the same time today where I caught so many sand fleas on April 11. But I couldn't find any single pod of sand flea V's.
The only difference is on April 11, it was about 1.5 hour before low tide and on April 15, 1 hour after high tide.
Based on this, I am guessing low tide is better.

Does anyone know if there have been sand fleas around the usual spots in ft laud? Are they usually around all year?

Re: Sand Fleas How to see them and catch them
Hey guys. This thread was VERY informative! I just got a sand flea rake today and would like to try my luck in finding some of these critters. I live in North Miami. Could someone point me in the right direction as to which beach i can go and try to find some sand fleas.
If someone could show me, i would be very grateful. I would gladly pay in the form of a nice cold 6pack
