Re: Is it legal??
I could be wrong, but I just read the entire nj digest. The statement above only applies to the Striped Bass.......attemping to catch during closed season is prohibited. I didn't see anything about fishing for the other species during the closed season. So, I could only imagine if you want to go out and fish for fluke, go ahead. Just don't keep em. Looks to be as simple as that. And, if you find, great. My advice, keep it off here. Always seems to start a bunch of b/s every year.
On another note, what did surprise me was the statement in the digest talking about wreckfish, "Illegal to possess, no open season. Like, how do you reel up a wreckfish in 700'+ water while fishing for tiles, barrelfish, etc. and throw the fish back dead. Makes no freakin sense.
