What a shame that yet another valuable resource is being lifted from rod-n-reel folks.

That bag limit of two fish is just about right to discourage most people from fishing. They are effectively closing the season without actually doing so.
We used to have great catches of flounder in the bays and channels of the south shore of LI when I was a kid. Those days are gone.
