No filter. This is where I live. Doesn't suck. There's a lot going on in this photo regarding reading striped bass water. That first wave has a trough in front of it. I hook a lot of fish in that kind of water. They crush it,sometimes at your feet,and when it's a surface plug,it's one of the great thrills of the world!



And when you can get quality fish like this 15 pound female on a swimming plug at night,that's winning!









Turbulence is what they like.





I landed over 50 fish off the beach this year before I got burned out on it.
