Re: NOAA is both right and wrong about Fluke
if by "climate change" you gentlemen are saying that this years COLD water has slowed the fluke bite, I might agree.. Its fast approaching mid July, and there are still bycatches of Ling inshore with the Fluke every day... Otherwise I call horse shit.. We have all been around long enough to remember DEAD fluke fishing on certain years, even back in the good old days before the terms "global warming" or the more politically correct term "climate change" were ever uttered.
Just because the NY Bight has been slow doesn't mean the fish have died off or changed their migration patterns because of ""climate change"".. Fluke range from Newfoundland to Florida and are caught by recs along the entire Altantic Coast of the US... Fluke fishing is doing well this year actually, along much of the coast..... bob
