I went through a lot of tags this year, almost exclusively on seabass and fluke. I did get one back in August this year from a fluke I tagged in July. It had moved 5 miles offshore from where I tagged it. Your windowpanes and some of the fluke are scooped up by draggers and the tags are never returned. Although I've had a few tags returned from a couple of netters from ( You guessed it) Hudson Canyon.
Back on topic.........Leaving the dock on those crispy, cold predawn mornings, searching for tell-tale canopies of birds over schools of hungry bass and breaking out the jigs.
