    BREAKING: New Bluefin Tuna Limits Hit NY, NJ, CT Anglers Hard

    We've been getting screwed long before DOGE came around. Sad thing is there are so many here and we can't keep them. They're saved for the big dollar commercial fishery.

    Proof The System Is Broken - We killed 3x the fluke we took home

    I have been sitting in these meetings for 40 years. What started with good intentions, like most fisheries management efforts, has turned into a circus. The scientists tell us what needs to be done, and then we tell them it is not enough. These meetings do little more than hand the final say...

    HAMPTON MAN BREAKS RECORD FOR LARGEST THRESHER SHARK CAUGHT IN CONNECTICUT

    The truth is the change is happening faster than I ever imagined. I don’t know how much longer magazines or magazine-style publishers can survive. AI gives real, unbiased reports. It doesn’t rely on advertisers and has no reason to exaggerate. Does it make mistakes? Yes. But it gets smarter...

    Comment by 'george' in article 'Electric Outboard Motors for Saltwater Fishing'

    This article is based on what’s available. And it is fluff. But the fact remains that it’s just a matter of time. As an EV owner, i will never go back to a combustion engine. It’s been 30 years since I’ve had this much fun driving. Speed handling, braking, safety no gas stations, and on an...

    They make the rules. Therefore they are 100% to blame. NO blame can be on the angler who follows those rules.

    Proof The System Is Broken - We killed 3x the fluke we took home

    I never said this is one dimensional. And when it comes to fluke, everyone wants fish to take home. This isn’t striped bass. Let’s get back to the real issue. We’re killing more fish as bycatch than we bring home to eat. Just last week we tossed back a 3-pound floater thanks to bad regulations...

    Proof The System Is Broken - We killed 3x the fluke we took home

    How could we possibly be on the same page when their is such a variety of tactics.. What's good for deep water fluking is not as so good for the inshore guy. Or the surf guy, or the fly fisherman and on an on. We need to send a clear message to our politicians that we should have the same...

    Proof The System Is Broken - We killed 3x the fluke we took home

    Interesting take. I'm thinking my numbers are more accurate than anything they can every come up with. Are there certain assumptions? Yes. But considering the reports I read from a group of over 140 anglers that fish that region about what happened that day, we were pretty average. There were...

    Proof The System Is Broken - We killed 3x the fluke we took home

    Here's a question for you guys . . . Why are we targeting the older fish when a female over 25 inches produces 4-million eggs while smaller fish produce between 250-500k? Don't we save the larger striped bass because of their reproductive abundance at older ages? Yet commercially they're taken...

    Post your 2019-2025 Fluke Pix & Trip Reports Here!

    I’m Matt, you’re reading me right. A lower size limit reduces discard mortality because anglers reach a take-home bag with fewer handled fish. Fewer shorts in the net means fewer fish stressed, gut-hooked, or dying later. “Just shorten the season” only tackles effort. Managers care about total...
