Opening Day Fluke - NY

[Bucktailboys.com]

Started out the day waiting for the fog to lift. Finally had a window and got out. Attempted to make a drift but we it was wind against the tide. Option #2 blues and bass....all the Gator blues you could ask for and no bass for us. We couldn't get passes the blues. End of the day made a few more drifts for fluke and I hooked up to 1 nice keeper. My buddy had a fish bigger than mine but he spit the hook a few feet from the boat. Fished in 15-25 ft of water w/ water temp of 60.
P.S. It was on bucktail if you were wondering. :D

Took the blue for a neighbor who loves them :confused:

Something I always wondered about...
If NY's fluke season opens before NJ and you launch from / dock in NJ but fished all day in NY waters, what happens when you return home with what was legally caught but NJ F&G are standing there?

So if you launch in NY and fish NJ and return to NY are you ok??? until NJ opens.

If you are stopped in nj waters now with a fluke its is illegal. Does not matter what port you leave from

The law is possession.
