I disagree 100% I feel like the best shot you have at getting a big fish is early in the season I have a buddy who trolls the reach with stretch plugs for bass in april and every year he gets multiple fluke over 10lbs on those things. without even targeting them if he could I have no doubt that he would land atleast 1 10+ lb fish in april every year. the year before last he had an 11 and 13 within 2 weeks of one another. both had to be released

so i think that an early season would be a great thing for fluke fishermen.

think we can all agree all these options are better then what we thought we'd be facing 3 or 4 years ago and also better then what states to our north and south have to deal with, we are actually lucky

The 17.5" crowd are recalling all the 17.999999999" fish they had to throw back last year, while forgetting all the obviously short and obviously keeper fish. It's a logical flaw to think that as the season progresses and fishing pressure ramps up, 0.5" is going to make a dramatic difference in the number of kept fish.

A lower bag limit, however, do compromise a fluke angler who goes out 2-3 times a week for the entire season...getting skunked on occasion and limiting out on other occasions. Yes I catch and keep my fair share of fluke, and I put a lot of time/effort/$$$ into fishing for this species. Why should the regulations favor the 3-4 trip guys over 30-40 trip guys? Last season I spent over $3000 on party boat fares/tips/pools chasing after fluke alone.

How the hell do they come up with these numbers? Are the options laid out supposed to somehow be equal as far as the potential landings? WTF?

Boy, I wish I had that much money to spend on fishing! I am lucky to get out a few times a year.

And I suggest you stay out of my finances by saying how, where, with whom and how much I care to spend on fishing.

From the sheer number of just missed a keeper fish caught over the past 2 years it seems the bio-mass is in good order. I prefer a management that protects the breeding stock as the most valued commodity. It has worked well in FL and LA for multiple species!

I grant I am not the world's finest fluke fisherman, certainly closer to the bottom, but:

Dad to fish $50. 3 kids to fish $120. Tackle, drinks, sandwiches for trip $40. Coming home with no dinner for mommy $200 shopping trip for her! My kids - "mommy we caught you dinner!!" Priceless! AND a recommendation we go out AGAIN!!!

So yes, my interest in the smaller size is self-serving, but also in the hope my children will grow up appreciating the resource we have at our back door, as well as the importance of respecting credible attempts to maintain and protect it for ALL to enjoy, not just the most skilled amongst us (me not being one of them!).
