New Flounder Regs!

[Life's A Beach]

Since we're posting our "wish list", here's mine.


Flounder open all year, 10" size and no bag limit. If it's THAT BAD that they'd keep a short spring season of 2 fish; we might as well send them on to the "Whiting Grounds"!

they are wrong,there were plenty of big flounder on the wrecks this year.
i was on a ns bottom boat out of point and had 7 flounder all over 2lbs one
day{all returned}.there were 60-80 flounder caught and released that day.
all caught on ling rigs.if we would of had flounder gear we could have caught
many more.

You're absolutely right. I had the same experience on many ling trips this past summer on the same boat. As people were releasing them, you would look off into the distance and see at least 5 draggers just beating the piss out of them on the edge of the hole. Now how does that make sense?????

caught alot of big flounder as well this summer on that boat and i disposed of them properly. but it seemd alot of people struggled in the bays, i know in barny bay i heard from alot of people while togging in april on the mbh that it was one of the worst flounder runs they had seen

Or you keep making trip back to the cooler to put your two fish in the trunk. then go fishing again.

It is a joke. Skip the reality check. Why not limit it to 10 flounder? But at 18 inches.

Me too. I had voted to keep regs on this main forum, but a clear majority wanted a separate section. Since that's the case, this thread should be moved out of this forum.

Marty,
The simple reason the regs were requested on a separate forum was too keep it focused and in one place without it drifting down the board. I think its working but willing to listen.
Thanks, dave

I have no issue with that; the reason for my comment was that this thread resided in the main section until recently.

For me, I feel that I'm more likely to read the regs posts on the main board, rather than visit this separate section.
