Start the season the day fluke ends to give fishermen and party/charter boats capt"s something to fish for.

Not sure what ocean you fish in but there are hundreds of boats out every weekend and many boats out every day all through July and August catching Sea Bass every day. When no one is fishing for sea bass? July and August?

How about the single busiest time of year for the sea bass boats bar NONE!!!

How about letting the bottom fishing boats fish for the fish they fish for and not alter their regs to accommodate fluke fishermen?

Owning the two only full time, year round bottom fishing boats in this area who carry more people and catch more sea bass in the two months you claim no one fishes for sea bass I can say without a doubt July and August are the busiest time of year for sea bass boats, period. Talk to Billy at Spring Lake and ask him how much bait we buy from him in July and August compared to the rest of the year. Ask how many more clams he sells then.

But, why not just take away the two busiest months of the year from the sea bass businesses, who cares right?
