Mid-Atlantic Council just voted to reduce bluefish bag limit to 3 for shore and private anglers and 5 for for hire sector.

FEDS are out of control and we cant get other groups on board to fight this insanity.

Bluefish haven't been looking good last few years. Seem to be only a spring run for bigger blues mia in fall. They used to be mixed in with the striper fall run not so now. Surf guys used to do well with them in the fall. Summer boats used to slay them day and night trips not so now. Hardly any night boats now something had to be done. As for the flounder breeders are the target again. Makes no sense. Summer flounder will end up being shut down.and you will be forced to buy them at the market or eat them at restaurants of which both are supplied by the comms.
