Like it or not this is the way it's done . Lots of math and averages etc. Right now we're at 5 fluke no matter what so we can't afford to "over fish" the quota. From what I've seen the longest season is dangerous to that end. So I believe with basically a status quo season we'll over fish again and a tighter quota for the next season will result.

Hearing a lot about the fluke options, but nothing about seabass. Wny ides on what dates we will have. Chartered a seabass trip for end of July and hoping the season will be open then.
