At that size they'd need to increase the bag limit to 10 to have a meal.

I don't buy the whole climate change, migration stuff one bit. Like it was said, then we would be sitting on the bio-mass from North Carolina.

Andy.
I am not sure yet on Fluke but NOAA is definitely saying Black Sea Bass biomass has migrated from NC and NJ IS fishing on the southern biomass to the point that NC Boats are steaming 10 hours each way to fill their NC Quota. There is also legislation being presented to let them unload here in NJ and have their catch counted on NC quota. My guess is the same will happen with fluke shortly, It doesnt matter anymore who subscribes to Climate change or not fish stocks in large numbers have changed their patterns in a northward trend and that is just a fact.
