Tag Return
I just received another tag return from the Littoral Society. I tagged it at the end of August last year in SH Channel. It was recaptured in Raritan Bay this July 2015. It was 14.5" when I tagged it. It was 17" when it was recaptured off Keasnsburg. These fish do grow and will be keepers next year if they are not trawled. If all of the 16" fish that are currently being released last through the winter, there will be one heck of a body of keepers next summer.
Can you imagine what the feds will say when that happens?! They'll probably end the season in July because we caught too many keepers.
Interestingly, most, if not all, of the tag returns I've had from fluke, all are recaptured in the same general area as where they were tagged, often after a year at large.
