    Fluke Season 2026 Analysis

    A VERY LOT of my returns came back from commercial fishermen who worked near the Azores, which is near Portugal. Always Bluedogs. I never had a Mako, Thresher, or BFT return.

    Fluke Season 2026 Analysis

    We probably started sometime in the 80’s and I still continue to participate today. Can only guess but probably tagged well over 1,000. I also participate in the Tuna Tagging Prigram.

    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...

    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. They are dedicated professionals, and they collaborate with many of our other top universities...

    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...

    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

    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...
