Fluke just curious
While I personally believe the body of fluke we fish in north jersey is doing way better than NMFS says it is I'm just curious .
I believe their thinking is that allowing females an extra year to breed by throwing them back till 19" will put more fish back into the water. So while we are mostly keeping females at 19" those fish still did get to breed approx 2 extra years than if we had a 16" limit. So if we had a shorter bag limit at 16" where we are taking females earlier would you throw back ALL the fish over 19" ? As I expect the answer will be am I crazy. So which really is ideal. Having a slot limit of fish from 16-19" where possibly the catch is partially males . Or as they are doing raising the limit to guarantee an extra year of growth ?
