We're going to catch so many fluke this year that in 2013 the size limit will be 28" and the season one day - July 4th.

I agree actually, considering the circumstance it would be pointless.

Does anybody know how this system works.Do they gather all the data after the season ends or do they monitor how many fish are being caught and or killed during the season.Seems to me if you are going to have a quota you shold keep track of the total catch in season and close it when the quota is met thereby eliminating overages.

Last year no problem ....we have fish....All they do is take away....If anything should of kept the limit add a slot of 2 fish @ 17-17 1/2, keep some happy and not destroy the fishery...

Bobber is right....touch yous toes......and get ready

Terrible outcome. Is there an email address we can send our eloquent petitions to or is this final?

njfishing.com
site has 5727 active registered members
108 million hits per year
36K unique visitors per month
~ 70 sponsors; party boat, charter boat and tackle shops
248 votes; NON hidden ballots
32% Option 5
37% Option 2
65% 18" fish agregate
Owner (Gerry) put up poll
Private boat VOTES favored #2
For Hire boat VOTES favored #5

From MY notes:

Blackfish
53% Reduction - Season as previously posted
ADMITTED "ERROR IN SCIENTIFIC NUMBERS USED FOR SETTING THIS SEASON"
'Looser restrictions MAY follow'

Sea Bass
57% Increase in our allotment
Season as previously posted; PROBABLY have Jan and Feb 2013
'cooperation between state and federal'

Fluke
38% Increase in our allotment
MRFS &/or 2011 NJ Volunteer Program used for recommendations; THE LATTER WAS USED

-2% towards our target for the past 11 years - (pretty good management in my opinion if the can get us that close over that long stretch)

SLOT FLUKE - A couple Board members wondered why this was taken off the menu; "Law Enforcement wouldn't be able to enforce it". C.O.s caught feelings when called on the carpet about their about-face on this option. They said that upon further review they wouldn't be able to enforce this so they would 'put it to the bottom of the list of laws to enforce and just not enforce it period'. C.O. stated the party boat industry as their primary reason for their change of heart (they told Board to lose this option). They said ONE person 'might catch ALL the 17.5" fish and distribute them around the boat'. They also said they would have to count the fares and dig through the racks and measure the 17.5" racks to see if there was only 1 slot fish per fare.

Congratulations to all who voted for a shorter season and giving back 3 fish.
Please hand out red noses to all who fish from your boats so we can see you
when you are throwing back 17.499999 fish and complaining, "we can't catch
a keeper". CLOWNS !
