Sad!Growing up on Raritan Bay the spring flounder started off our season.March we would start flounder fishing on my charter boat and then switch to stripers later in the spring.At two fish there is no interest.Losing 15 to 20 flounder trips puts a hurting on the for hire boats.Weakfish limits are worst.There goes another forty charter trips.Do the math?Tough to make a living with these limits!If it weren't for stripers i don't think we would have any charter boats left in the Sandy Hook or Raritan Bay area.All the Party Boats target other speices early spring.I don't like change but this is what we have to live with.
