    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”...

    Fluke Season 2026 Analysis

    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.

    Fluke Season 2026 Analysis

    As in most “hunting” of other species there are limits, quotas, etc. Nothing unusual about that. What becomes and how the Nation’s natural resources are used is concern for all Americans. BFT doesn’t freeze very well for any length of time. One should be enough to feed any family. But if...

    NH fisherman reels in 1,116lb BFT

    It’s quite possible it won’t qualify as New Hampshire requires the fish to be captured with the States waters. It does not however adhere to I.G.F.A. Regulations.

    Fluke Season 2026 Analysis

    Incorrect, there is a recreational catch limit for giant BFT known as a “Trophy Fish” What the heck are you going to do with a large giant BFT? You haven’t answered the question. How much of an economic impact does the commercial Fluke fishery contribute to the economy? Make sure you...

    Fluke Season 2026 Analysis

    Allocation…………. It is estimated that there are fewer then 5 million recreational anglers in the 11 Staes from Maine to North Carolina under NOAA’s allocation plan. 60% going to commercial interests, and 40% going to recreational. The population of the United States is approximately 340...

    Fluke Season 2026 Analysis

    Yes, they do, but to reach their quota only fishing the inshore waters is that some something you would prefer? No need to answer it’s rhetorical.

    Fluke Season 2026 Analysis

    “Maybe the biggest offending comms (Virginia and North Carolina) would changer their ways if the winter spawn period is outlawed.” Why……. do you think they will abide by the regulations if they ban the offshore winter commercial fishery? Maybe the regulations need to be changed, but I think...

    So you would prefer they drag the bottom inshore in the Spring, or Summer, or Fall?

    Fluke Season 2026 Analysis

    I get the impression that you would just prefer no regulations, and we go back to the wild Wild West free-for-all. I don’t fish for food, and I’m not alone. For me, the food aspect of fishing is a nice perk, but not why I do it.

    Fluke Season 2026 Analysis

    Some nice looking fillets you have there. Fillets from a 14” fish would be less than 1/4 pound each side wouldn’t compare at all to those.

    Fluke Season 2026 Analysis

    I would have to think that if the size of keeper Fluke was lowered to 14” there would have to be an offset that would reduce both the season length, and the quantity per angler. Keep in mind too that a 14” Fluke would yield approx. 1/2 pound of fillets……. and that’s if you are really good...
