They have been regulating fluke fishing for a long, long time and each few years, they say that the fluke population is dwindling. They were in charge! They called the shots! Hey NOAA! First, figure out the wind direction and velocity correctly the next time I take my boat out; then come talk to me about the fluke regulations.
As for the winter of 2015........that was then, this is now. That was the winter that would never end.....or so it seemed. Look at it now. Go figure. Don't try to out think Mother Nature!

NOAA's job is to forecast the weather for a specified length of time in the near future, not to control it or "out think Mother Nature," and their role in fisheries regulation is an entirely separate issue. The next time you take your boat out, you have the choice of listening to weather predictions from professional meteorologists at NOAA and other agencies or just relying on your own instincts. The former seems like a more sensible option.
