Re: Where the heck are the Fluke?
There might be lots of ideas about it all. A change to long-term summer weather will help put patrons at the rails despite the poor fishing. Good weather always brings people to the saltwater. A chance to catch fish can only help, even if they are shorts.
Rain, rain, rain........freshwater influx is my theory. Fluke can live and migrate in cold water. I don't give the water temperature excuse too much weight. Bait? There are sandeels not far from the beaches. Reports are coming in about fluke in the surf. There just hasn't been a large push of fluke from offshore as of yet. Just like they disappear suddenly in early September, I am guessing, they will appear suddenly, only later. Appear they will. In the meantime, we wait........or fish in the river.
In any case, if the season gets cut next year or if the size limits are increased, expect a class action lawsuit.
