Keeping short fluke

[team heat]

Im confused.Over the last few years Ive read on here all the posts about Asians keeping short blackfish on the jettys and everyone saying call the game wardens and posting phone numbers for fish and game to turn them in.Now that they want to reduce the bag limit on fluke Im readind how alot of people on here want to do the same thing as the Asians are doing.Seems to me we would just be adding to the problem instead of trying to figure out a better way of solving the issue of lower bag limits.

I'm not sure what thread you were reading no one mentioned anything about keeping short Fluke. They reduced the bag limit to 4 Fluke at 18". Most of the guys and I, said we will keep what we catch. It sounds like we're saying anything. Speaking for myself and others we meant anything 18" and over.....

People just frustrated with all these bullsh*t regulations. Then you have people posting. "I'll be happy with 2 fish at 17 1/2". Really?? Don't worry your wish will probably come true next year. Just keep giving these idiots more ideas....

Everyone is disgusted.. I personally will take some fluke home. i will set my own limits. They will be more than reasonable, believe me, I am NOT hungry for fish. If there were really problems with the stock, I might reconsider my thoughts. When the commercials are also restricted tp 18 inch fish along the range of the summer flounder, I will abide by the rules as BIG BROTHER has "written" them.... also,From here on, starting this season, no longer will I throw back almost dead , badly bleeding gut hooked fluke, even if I have to cook and eat them on my boat.... That video of the commercial netter pushing hundreds of nice fat dead fluke off the deck of his boat nauseated me... Sorry , I will NO LONGER feel guilty about bringing home a few fluke.. I have had enough.Let them catch me... Sorry if you disagree, ... btw, blacks are in a LOT more trouble than the fluke are... bob

Hi y'all,

Brand new to posting on this site but have been following for a while. I stummnled on this thread and am really upset by the fact that is seems like people plan to make there own ysarlimits and disrespect the law and law biding citizens. I noticed a trend as of the last few years more and more people throwing that questionable size fish in there cooler and even some mates and captains turning a blind eye to these actions. It saddens me to see such a wonderful past time being ruined by so many. I believe it is time for honest fisherman to start policing there own. Looks like I'll be helping the state make some $ with turning in these dispicable cowards.

I believe the "so many" are the commercial rock hoppers and gill netters not the guy keeping a just so close fish or the gill bleeding short that would be returned to sink and die. Its not like we don't know what goes on on the other side of this game. I understand everyone has a job to do but the commercial fishery is absurd.
The worse the regs get on our end the more people will get frustrated knowing what really goes on in the big nets and will do what they have to do to put food on the plate. Not saying everyone but its going to get worse.
Last night for dinner a restaraunt was serving two whole grilled sole for $17.99.
When I got my dish the fish were about 12 inches.
Its obsurd what goes on out there.
