Lots of opinions, wrong info, and bitching going on here but I did not see any of you or hear any of your thoughts, or opinions (with the exception of Paul Haertel and myself) at the meeting this past Thursday night...just saying

WAS told the fluke are sold from the set aside amount established by the NMFS.
he said 2 years ago you could buy lots of 30000 pounds for 75 grand,, he was going to call and see what the amounts are for this year.
He said they go on sale in the beginning of each year.

said most commercial guys wont touch them as they cant make enough money to justify the expense ,

here is a link that explains some of it

he said that amount is split among all the states combined catch

Dave its info coming straight from a holder of a federal permit who can buy from that allotment.
who has fished commercially for 40 years. Im pretty sure he totally understands how it works

in 2013 when he first looked into it their was over 500,000 pounds of summer flounder available for purchase

When this all started I said don't rely on Pallone. He uses fisherman like cheap whores. I was savaged. Well look where We are now. He doesn't care and is in the minority party in congress. I hope He gets a disease and dies.

"...everytime I see about how Recs cant hurt a fishery makes me think there must be alot more guys who just dont know how to fish then im accustomed t talking to .

sure a dragger goes through an area and the fish are caught. no denying that, they dont have to want to bite, they dont have to get hooked etc.
but each of them is taking 500 pounds a day. and really there arent that many net boats here. no where near the days to fish we get to.

a good charter boat with boat limits of 6 guys can put between 70 and 120 pounds in the boat....

last season when guys cried there were no fish around, the draggers were staying local, and doing short drags for their daily quota.

there were ALOT of fish around.
but if you were not fishing the small areas holding bait you werent going to find fish.
they arent going to stay in areas that lack food.

guys who looked and found the bait had quick limits each day.
but still in all.
I am SURE the guys I know who fish alot and put their time in , caught way more fish than the local draggers took........."

Did someone actually post this dribble?

On some boats all you need is one fluke!
