Not to be disrespectful but do you have any idea why the winter flounder populations have crashed? From your quote it seems as if you are falsely blaming the average rod and reel fisherman. From what I understand it was all the commercial draggers that would target them offshore in the summer that devastated the populations. Their fishing was unchecked for years until it was too little and too late.
