These things only stick to the line from trolling?

Those who have not had experience with the fleas--not only do they create unique fishing challenges but they can be a little dangerous as well. If you are picking them off of lines, be careful not to touch or rub your eyes! Infections can occur. Lastly if you or your guests are allergic to bees/yellow jackets the fleas on your lines or boat draw them for miles.

I carry Benadryl on board because I am allergic to shellfish and the fleas cause my eyes to water sinuses to clog and throat to get tight.

Heavy flea season can be a chore!!
