I guess in hindsight this does open the doors for better fishing in NY so we might as well make our way on over into the waters and share in the stock of fish there since it's all the same size now. Sure will be nice to be able to catch some of those too at a smaller size now......hmmm 5 in NY waters, 5 in NJ......

Don't go that way with me I used to be a Pin Hooker. There is no money in Fluke fishing as a pin hooker & that's a fact & you know it. 70 lbs a day or 1000lbs a week. Let me see how many 14" fish are you getting now? I guess your driving a Bentley with all those fish that your getting. How many hours do you have to put in to get your quota? How much a pound are you getting when they are close enough to fish with rod & reel. When they are closer the price goes down but I guess you know that already. Remember I used to do this I was a Pin Hooker & I'm glad I'm no longer one. Also you know there are better options of fish to pin hook for then Fluke. Also all the Pin Hookers I know don't come here to pound their chests they don't have the time. They have better things to do like get ready for tomorrow got to get up early got to get some fish got to pay bills.

True, BUT what you fail to understand is that it was at the cost of other states quotas. If Mass can have their own regs and could do it then why not NY? Establish your own vs. impeding on a boundary state, I presume this was the easier way to do something about it vs. concede in other ways??
