The filleters at the row boat livery docks were incredibly fast. I want to say they held the head with pliers, cut back along the bones and left the fillet on by the tail. They flipped the fillet on its skin side and ran the knife under the meat to seperate from the skin. Then they did the same on the other fillet.

2 fish per man on a half day with very inconsistent fishing is a joke.

The only viable "fishery" for party and charter boats for winter flounder w/ the current regs is the deep water wreck trips (which we do a lot of!) from June-September. We caught our boat "limit" several times and every trip we had at least a few. FWIW, having fished the deep water wrecks consistently for 5 years now last summer was the best we've seen.

Some pics below from this past summer's fishery. All but one in the pics were caught on ling hooks, hi lo rigs, and huge hunks of clam lol - no chum pots, no worms [/QUOTE]



X2 with that one AL - when I have been deep water this past year they are there and they are big n hungry - My personal favorite to eat
