#2 seems like a no brainer to me. I could see where some would want a smaller size limit, but for me it is not worth loosing days to fish and make the bag limit smaller.

Option 3. Since we lost the last month of Fluke season last year lets get it going ASAP.

It's completely dependent on what the alternate specie's seasons are going to be.

We used to be gearing up for flounder NOW then jump right into stripers and slide into fluke. After fluke we could sea bass and tog and porgy along with Fall stripers until November 15th. December was tog and off-shore porgy and January finished up the tog and off-shore sea bass. With all the closures and changes to the seasons, I'm not sure WHEN would be the best fluke season anymore.

I do know certain things to be true:
1. If you don't take the largest creel limit, you'll never get it back.
2. The keeper size will be split, and rightfully so. Party boats NEED a smaller size so more fares can keep fish. They just can't fish the same as charter or private boats.
3. We USED to catch a shyte-load of keeper fluke well into October but in the past couple years, early season hurricanes/tropical storms seems to have killed the season right around Labor Day.
4. I can't wait to be fishing in shorts and a T shirt!

Couldn't agree with you more, Mike.
Except we did get two more fish last year than 2010.

Option 5. The smaller size means more keepers. Personally, a limit of 5 is more than enough. I could even vote for option 6, but the season is little too short, especially at the start. With the mild winter, the fluke will probably be here earlier than last year. Unless, of course, we get hammered with a late snowstorm.
