NO fish should be targeted during their spawn .
Sadly that’s when winter flounder and striped bass get fished the hardest

Hey Dan to i have to FACT CHECK YOU LOl First of all Whiting spawn like every other fish. Winter Flounder spawn in the spring? So we we shouldn't fish for them in the Spring. Blues spawn in the Summer??? Shut that down also. Stripers spawn in the Spring so shut that down also. When do Tuna, Tilefish ,Makos ,Theshers etc. spawn? Sea Bass go off shore and spawn in the winter along with porgies??? No more off shore PB fishing. We all want to protect the stocks and protect the future of all species but at what cost? If we do what you want there would be no need for your charter boat or any for hire boat and who would buy a private boat??? Comments welcome but let all o0f us keep them civil! We are all entitled to our opinion and this one is just mine. Other than that it is 82degrees and sunny here in Florida LOL
