That’s not totally correct .
Recreational fisherman really abused the winter flounder fishery .
Tons of boats catching garbage cans full after filling a cooler in the hay day .
We all thought it was an endless flow of fish .
Second one is striped bass , killing millions of breeders when they are stacked up laden with roe , and easy pickings .
.
NO fish should be targeted during their spawn .
Sadly that’s when winter flounder and striped bass get fished the hardest
