Re: Seabass Closure
Some of the boats will target Blues, even if they have to target 12 inchers for their fares.. Some will go whole hog Fluke, cold water and poor action be damned... This might be a really down year for fluke, but right now its too early to tell.. I hope not for the sake of the party/charter boat captains/owners..
With Ling and even Whiting and a few Cod still being caught in 50 FOW along with Sea Bass, it tells me there is still a lot of cold water out there.. We might have to wait another month or more for decent fluking the way its been shaping up so far.
I imagine some boats will just fish for Ling and a Cod here and there until the porgies show up in a month or so... Hopefully we get a good shot of triggers this year to help out, once the Porgies show up..
In any case, if its a dead year for Fluke, the boat owners will have to get creative, and simply go with the "hot hand" and target whatever is available for their fares.. Problem is, this time of year most weekend warriors want fluke, and if the fluke aren't there, they just won't go fishing... bob
