It's completely dependent on what the alternate specie's seasons are going to be.
We used to be gearing up for flounder NOW then jump right into stripers and slide into fluke. After fluke we could sea bass and tog and porgy along with Fall stripers until November 15th. December was tog and off-shore porgy and January finished up the tog and off-shore sea bass. With all the closures and changes to the seasons, I'm not sure WHEN would be the best fluke season anymore.
I do know certain things to be true:
1. If you don't take the largest creel limit, you'll never get it back.
2. The keeper size will be split, and rightfully so. Party boats NEED a smaller size so more fares can keep fish. They just can't fish the same as charter or private boats.
3. We USED to catch a shyte-load of keeper fluke well into October but in the past couple years, early season hurricanes/tropical storms seems to have killed the season right around Labor Day.
4. I can't wait to be fishing in shorts and a T shirt!
