Default Re: FLUKE.

i'll tell ya why go for 17.5.
last season our limit was 18 and 4 fish.
i didnt fish my limit once.
i cant tell you how many 17.5 fish i threw back. it would have been nice to bring home 5-8 pounds of fillets.
i have been fluke fishing since the late 60's.
we used to catch 5-8 pounders all day long.
now thats a trophy.
the problem with our coastal waters now is that any schmuck with 5 grand can buy a boat.
used to go out on a perfect summer sunday and there were maybe 10 boats out there.
now i only fish during the week because the entire ***ish fleet and the italian navy are all out on the weekend.
i fish thursday and friday and there are hundreds of "captains" out there who have not a clue what they are doing.
its almost impossible to enjoy boating anymore.

ok, now i'm done.

I hear you Charlie. I clammed my way through college and would almost end up in a fistfight everytime I would go out on a Sat. It's just not worth it. Too many people who think it's just like driving a car and are clueless as to proper ramp and boating etiquette.
