Aw man you got way too many. Put them over a metal sheet with holes, along with some ice below the rack so they last a bit longer. With that many I dont think youll get more than two days out of them.

South is hit or miss...last week i literally walked like 4 miles in sand to just rake up enough to fish a couple of hours just so that the pomps didnt bite for crap! But, the locals hit them hard and get like half a small bucket..you dont need that much when the bite is hot, but there are MANY times the bite is on fire and you cant find a flea if your life depended on it! Lol

Hit Hollywood beach this afternoon. I was able to get into a couple of small pods and nab 2 dozen or so. Been awhile since I've gone raking fleas, what to look for, but it came back to me after an hour or so of digging blanks.

beach nourishment quite often does not help with the sand flea. That's why the beach is so nice over here....
