How is the Flea situation in Mexico Bay?

[Bigfoot II]

Water fleas were just terrible last time out a couple weeks ago. Have they improved/cleared up? What line recommendations does anyone have for line that that's at least easier to clean them off, if not flea proof? Will 40# Cabelas Saltstriker mono be thick enough to do the trick?

Friday was my last trip out, fleas were not bad at all. I was running brown trout rods with 12# test in 80 ft of water minimal fleas

Fleas are minimal. Now it’s the current that’s a pita! 30lb mono works good. I use Big Game.

I was out there Sunday as well and if that's what you call pretty bad, be glad you weren't out there around 4th of July! It's 10x better now than it was in the beginning of July. I had a dipsey out for well over an hour and had maybe a 10" section of fleas on it when I brought it back in, it was triple that in 1/4 of the time in July.
