Re: Fewer Fluke Reports?
The fishery is not what it used to be for sure but I don't think it's doom and gloom. Years ago we had Fluke in the Sandy Hook and Raritan bays all through the summer and it's seems the bay fishery has not been the same since Sandy.
I also think some of it is people are fishing the same methods and the same places and expecting the same results they used to get. It's changed and if you want to catch, you're fishing the sticky stuff and people know where that stuff is and those areas tend to get fished out. You also see many of the boats fishing the sticky stuff are moving around a lot picking fish here and there and have to move to different spots to put a catch together... Fuel at $5.00 a gallon is also playing into it on the private boat side. Now you think twice about making a longer run to the sticky stuff.
