Now the pool winners are generally 3-5 lbs.
Just my opinion and probably worthless.

That’s all accurate .
Except many boats that fished big fluke areas aren’t making the run when they can only keep a handful of fish above the 18” size limit . It’s just not worth it with the price of fuel .
Bait is starting to show up more this past week , so we should see a better pull of fish .
Sadly the season will be over as the fishing is the best .
.having the ocean fluke season before the end of June is just a total loss of those days .
Seasons should be split statewide to give everyone a fair shot at the body of fish .
