What's the best bait to use for surf fishing?

[flutemaster2003]

The best bait for surf fishing are sand crabs.. Get a bucket, fill it with sand and water, go down to the waves and dig after a wave. Filter the sand between your fingers and put the crabs in the bucket.. you now have live bait and it's free. When you put the crab on the hook be sure to go through the back so it won't wiggle off. This time of year the crabs are real big so you should have good luck.. You will be sure to catch a lot of perch..
