Only fish a handful of fluke trips per year because of what the size limit has historically meant to anglers south of Barnegat, very few legal fish. Used to target fluke much more, but simply can't take people's money to bring them home with an empty fish box. Since fluke is not the bulk of my business, it also allows me to make objective decisions about what regulations will mean to the greatest number of people. Most find that input beneficial, YMMV.

The 2 better days we've had very few shorts, 2 throwbacks per keeper. The 2 days with keeper catches in the teens 5 - 1 throwbacks to keepers. I think we've gut hooked 3 fish this year. Very low mortality.

The direction of this thread is where the fishermen always lose. What is anyone fighting about in this thread, to say "I'm right" about a system that uses as it's basis a less than 1% sampling rate? There is no "right" about a system like that. The system is broke, and when we the fishermen continue to fight like this it only demonstrates that we aren't more than pawns in the game.
