My recommendation to those for a smaller bag/size limit is to get a bigger boat
and fish where the 18" fish live. For those who fish off land, hop on a charter or party boat.
Guessing you don't fish the party boats. An 18" fish on a party boat is difficult. I had 25 keepers last year on 12 trips, including a limit first time out. There were lots of zeros. At 17.5" I would have had a great season. Pretty much don't even want to go fluke fishing any more. Do you really think an 18" limit helps the party boats?

I just voted #5 Give the people fishing on PB a chance to take dinner home.
I only fish half day boats now with the regs, caught 35 fish no keepers. I have limited out on a few trips, and I give families that are out trying to take the catch of the day home, my fish.
I am surprised non of the PB Capt. have responded to this poll, I see some Charter Boats and a few Mates.

I disagree.. Last year i put more fish in the cooler then in past years... Did a lot of fishing.. On party boats and friends boats.. Throwing 18in fish back looking for better.. People hitting limits wasnt hard..

Being an avid fluke fisherman that runs a boat 3-4 times a week, running a 35' boat, spending thousands on fuel alone, like fishing the ocean for fluke. That's why I voted for option 2. It seems to me, that people that have alot to say, are people that fish from land, have a small boat or no boat. If that's the case we should have a 12" limit with 3 fish a man so everyone, everywhere can limit out. This is not about being rich or poor, it's about a regulation of a fishery.

I completely disagree. In fact, I think its the complete opposite.

Aren't you the same person who said this;

"My recommendation to those for a smaller bag/size limit is to get a bigger boat

Y'know mako, for a guy talking about fishing not about being rich or poor, you sure are thumbing your nose at the little guys that can't afford your luxuries.
