Fluke Season 2026 Analysis
Our understanding of the Winter Flounder collapse from the 1980’s I think is substantially different today from that what we believed almost 50 years ago. In particular as it relates to Long Island, and the residential development of the south shore. Between the barrier islands, and the...- MakoMatt

Agreed, but let’s remember who is putting together the numbers. It’s very highly educated people, many with PhD’s in various marine related areas. Very often working in under paid government jobs.

Technology and the amazing machines it brings us
We built a solar energy farm in Anguilla to help offset the high energy costs. I seem to recall in meetings with the engineers involved with the project discussing, and or using the term “Fresnel lens.” I do not recall if they were ever used?? Hurricane Irma, a CAT 5 hit Anguilla in 2017...- MakoMatt

NH fisherman reels in 1,116lb BFT
Story sounds a little fishy to me…… 10 minutes? “The fish ran fast and took about 800 yards of line” If there was no fish on the line you couldn’t reel in 800 yards of line in 10 minutes- MakoMatt

Fluke Season 2026 Analysis
Jeeez, talk about someone having a 1/2 empty glass………. Happy to report mine’s 1/2 full. It seems to me a simple solution to the “hiding fish” issue is to have observers on ALL boats, not just some. NOAA has had many more success's that failures. It’s not a 100% understood fishery but they...- MakoMatt

Fluke Season 2026 Analysis
What you see in your coolers is antidotal information, and not science. Some may recall that the Spiny Dogfish was listed as overfished in the 1990’s. There were many many fishermen that said its bullchit there are millions of them around. I remember shark fishing in the Fall when the water...- MakoMatt

Fluke Season 2026 Analysis
I do not have any knowledge as to the effect of the deeper water winter trawl that takes place. I have to ASS-ume that, right or wrong, the science indicates that given the allotment the commercial fishermen have been given the fishery would remain healthy and not categorized as “overfished”...- MakoMatt

Yes, this rock will continue revolving around the sun. Without regulations many species would most likely be extinct, and many near extinction. Not saying the regulations are correct but this is an evolving science. At the end of the day the science is really all we have to work with.- MakoMatt
