There is very little flounder coming from NJ draggers of that catch .
Guys that commercially fished for them don’t anymore .
Also why the ones that do get a premium price for it .
It sucks that fishery is gone , it was out spring kick off .
But anyone who thinks that we didn’t hurt that fishery didn’t fish it all those good years .
.
Coolers weren’t big enough for the catches , so even guys fishing in a tin boat were using garbage cans .
Fishery hasn’t been shut down 20 years either , been shut down to 2 fish for little over 10 .
.
Very few guys now fish for them at that limit , but I would hope the bay fishery has come back some .
Fishery in shark river will never come back due to the whole area being silted in .
99% of the areas we fished there are full of parking lot dust .
