cut next year's summer flounder catch by 10 percent

[buckfin732]

Yet most of the Fish-for-Hire guys raved and even wanted a lower size limit with a decreased bag limit.They cant have their cake and eat it to.Capt Adam said what Lab just stated.We had a fishery rebuilt and we took a half inch off and kept 3 less fish what did you think was going to happen.We were going to go over quota if we went over quota 2 years ago with 18" bag at 8 fish.The people that set these rules have not one care in the world for you or me .I work over 75 hours a week am never late paying my taxes or any bill for that matter.I take care of my faimly follow the law and support my country every chance i get.I try and help anyone that i can and even help some people that dont appericate it.My 2 outlets for stress are fishing and hunting just like many of you.What do we get for being good Americans and good Stewards of the Land and Sea we bend over and take it up the tail pipe again.The question we have to ask ourselves is when is it enough when are we fed up enough to do something about it.I guess we havent reached that point yet cause its the same old same old.The REC. guys get screwed over and over. PS This post is not directed at you Capt Ron dont want you to think that since you Are a For-hire-guy

Saying NJ doesnt have a good fulke fishery is just stupid plain and simple.John D tell me were the fishery is better i would love to know.Sure NY comes close but no state on the east coast has a better fishery for fluke IMO.Remember its not the arrow its the indian

I said it as soon as I saw you guys give up 3 fish for a 1/2 reduction and longer season... Welcome to the Hell that we in NY have suffered for over 5 years...

Never give up your creel limit, thats like giving up your life line, there is no one to blame now but yourselves for thinking you could get back from these scumbag *******s that are the regulators.

Just so you know Cass Sunstein, he is the Regulatory Czar and he is a ****ing nut bag.

Precisely. Could not have said it better (actually, I did say it on this very board months ago before Fluke started, but few were listening)

The quota was already cut for the year we are still fishing in and we said there was not enough quota to do what people wanted.

Nevermind, I am tired of spending inordinate amounts of time dealing with fisheries issues only to be told by people who never read a piece of paper, went to a meeting or looked something up on line that they know best and I should stay out of it because I am "one of those Bogans"

Next time listen to those that have been doing this shit (fisheries management, not just fishing) for 20+ years.

PS - Not saying NJ's regs are the reason for the cut, only that the geniuses that wanted to drop the bag limit and shorten the season to drop a shitty half inch now have nowhere to go but DOWN, DOWN DOWN and we start from a much worse position.

Everyone pray the roulette wheel known as MRIP does not come up with NJ's color this year and we may skate by, there is always the chance that MRIP won't come close to what we actually catch (and hopefully lower, not higher)

A lot of us saw this coming. You didn't have to be a genius to see it.

So everyone remembers what they chose when the regulations were posted.
