I was out doing some surf fishing for pomps yesterday and it was the first time I used sandfleas. I was wondering where is the best place to hook the things?

I'm not sure exactly where is the best place, but last Wednesday I got a slew of them right under the pier at Navarre pier. I was surprised because the north wind had knocked the surf down to almost nothing and I thought it would be better with a little surf.

| Popular belief is to hook them from the belly up thru the back. NOT GOOD. Ever come back with just a shell? Thats because the Pompano love the eggs that the female sandflea carry under her belly. And if you hook thru the belly up through the back shell, then the Pompano is biting at the bend of the hook. Not a great way to try to hook a fish. Use a female flea with eggs for your best shot, locate the eggs, then penetrate the hook downwards leaving the point of the hook in the egg sack. you will increase your hookup percentage by tenfold.
