Looks Like Fluke Option 5 Passed

[sportfishingusa]

Where should i send my money now?



I am not the happiest with the results, but to be quite honest, i could give a hoot, i dont know what the uproar is, anyone who says they pay 50 bucks or pay 125 bucks to go fluke fishing for the day, is not going to tell me they fish for the meat to feed themselves, it is a chance, thats like playing the lottery and kicking a hole in your wall everytime you lose the power ball, its a chance you might catch a chance you wont catch.

What ever happened to fishing for fun, enjoying ourselves, enjoying time with one another? why has everything in this world turned into a donation, a political bs battle, everyone whining about one another? I personally have not, and will never say i fish to take home my fish, anyone who fishes with me knows i take no meat.

I fish because i enjoy it, i have a great time doing it, you never know what the next day will bring, they can close the fisheries down, i will still take my children fishing, i will put every fish back and i will go to the super market or fish market and purchase certain types of fish i want to eat and cook them at home.

I understand the business side, but the business is only going to be hurt by simple minded people.. What is keeping 3 less fluke going to do for your day? fluke prices at 12.99 a lb in the store, for the same price as a six pack open boat around here, you can go and buy 14 lbs of fluke, by the time you get done with fare and tip..

GET "REEL" guys, no one on here gives a hoot about going home with ton of meat, it is all about fishing and enjoying.

I say make it one fish at 36", then we will see everyone out there trying to catch a monster, and when you do catch one it will be a accomplishment..

These are limites and restriction, not them telling us we can not fish for them, they are RETENTION LIMITS, you can only retain so many fish at so many inches, but you can catch and release as many as you want!

The black seabass fishery closure is much more important to "for hire
" sector than this fluek bs will ever be.

I have now read through this and I also need to say something.

The RFA & RFA-NJ did not offer an opinion to any of the options that were given. If you were at the meeting, you would know that no one represented the RFA or RFA-NJ.

I did voice my support for Option 5 at the meeting and in the poll on his site, but not in an official capacity for the RFA, just my personal opinion as a charter captain.

But for you guys that did not show up to the meeting to claim that the RFA gave an official opinion about any option is TOTALLY FALSE.

It's very disturbing to me that a charter boat capt. and chairman of rfa is actually is voting for less size and bag limit. Do you realize that these laws that you voted for are the same that bought NY to it's knees? It's also disturbing that a charter boat captain voted to reduced size and bag limits, thats shows signs of weakness as far the captain of Karen Ann 2 goes. If you can't limit out with 8 fish at 18", you may think that at 17.5 and 5 fish a man, your chances will be easier. My opinion is if you had a 2 fish limit at 17", you still would have a problem limiting out. I'm just so disgusted as a fisherman of 40 years that there are captains out there in 2012 that actually will vote for a reduction in their catch. By any chance did you vote to have helicopters enforce the 3 mile limit when striper fishing? Next sea bass and tautog meeting I will attend to vote for a complete shut down of both, since you snj guys depend on that dearly and have destroyed fluke regs., we can both sell our boats and you and I can golf
