What's the best way to hook the little critters so they stay alive and on the hook good?

hook them through the tail

and a tip on where to look for fleas is to go where there has been no beach renourishment going on, the sand is thrown on top of the sand fleas so it takes a few years for them to come back to the area

I have not found any sand fleas around the Destin bridge either. But, if you go onto Okaloosa Island and hit the surf almost anywhere that there is an entrance to get down to the beach, you will find plenty of them. The shoreline isn't disturbed as much with swimmers/surfers and there has never been any beach renourishment other than what Ivan did and Katrina did and ..................... on and on and on. If you watch just inside the edge of the surf highline, say in 3" to 6" of water, you can see them scooting about or trying to burrow back into the sand when a wave comes in. Look closely as they are "quick as a bunny"!! (One of my mama's old sayings!)

I will be out on OI this weekend if every thing falls in place. I'm already to go, thanks to everyone and their great tips!

Due to the red tide last year sand fleas are gonna be a little harder to find. Destin to Panama City prob the hardest area to find them and from Navarre to P'Cola the easier area to find them.
