You know, never thought of that.. Stripers love small flounder.. Years and years ago, they were prime bait for few guys in the know.
.The resurgence of Stripers to an extent has coincided with the demise of flounder in the same waters... A possible factor?.. Probably, but as you stated, a proliferation of other predators that simply were not around 30-40 years ago as well....Doesn't look good for winter flounder short term, thats for certain.... bob
