There is an epidemic of them, and unless I'm wrong, maybe we anglers should be trying to reduce the population.

I've been fishing a long time (like over 40 years), including many summer days fishing for fluke and the fluke have always outnumbered the Robins by a larger margin. That being said, I agree they make a fine meal if you catch one large enough to get some decent fillets. By the way I once caught a large Bluefish in the LBI surf that had an entire Robin in it's belly.
