Unfortunately it is what it is and this fate was decided months ago
Flounder fishing is my favorite fishing next to Fluke and there is nothing left to fish for.
After this is implimented to 2 fish @ 12" and there will no boats specifically targeting them now and the 2 Fish @ 12" is for bycatch only. I personally always tried to get a couple of flounder charters and party boat trips in for em - but next year this is not happening for me I cant afford to pay that money to get 2 fish hopefully?
IMHO and people won't like this - I support this closure/limitted by-catch - there is hardley anything left and when the quota goes over again it will be very hard to prove that the rec's overfished the stock again - but they will - meanwhile the commercilas are still going strong catching these tasty fishies - but my next question and will like to see how they will and try and conserve this fishery and see were the blame goes this time ???
I am all for conservation but the real problem still needs to be looked at and addressed -IMHO -
