| Thanks for the report..and for the fleas: On the Chevy Florida Fishing Report, I heard one of the guys on there talking about how you can "blanch" or dip the fleas in hot water for a few seconds before you freeze them and it makes them keep longer. I have never done it...does anyone else on here do this??

| I've done it. It does work. You can also salt your shrimp the night before and it makes them a lot tougher. I have to hit the beach soon! Chris

| Thanks for the report, I have been going down to the beach in Destin lately and havent got a thing, thought I had missed the Pompano this year. How far out was your bait? Will have to head down Saturday. Again, thanks...

| Sailor. I use a 12' and a 14' . 3oz sinkers will get you out far with a normal average swing....I tried to get it behind the second braker....close to a dropoff .... Tried again friday moring..man it was windy as hell...fleas still there though, water was murky and all churned up from the strong winds out of the east...friend caught a small Red that was it But check this out....last night we went far east to Destin ....took the boat this time and anchored by the bridge...we slayed the bull Reds big time....biggest was 44" on large pin fish....we had a great time, water was flat out there..wind picked up for moments but it wasn't that bad. tide was coming in strong...got back home aorund 1am. Had a great time
