The reports from the commercial guys out off of Montauk is that they are pulling some big fish :o, but you are right, you will need to travel and put your time in to find them.

the commercial guys will not only find the fish but they will decimate the stock as well. they are killing us with regulations and the big guy doesnt suffer.

I'm talking about the rod/reel comm guys, but you are right. The draggers need to actually lower there size limit or get rid of it all together and base there catch on total weight, this way there will be allot less dead undersized fluke floating around. But thats a whole new topic.
Good luck in NY, withthe way its going, RI (were I am from) will be right behind you. (we are @ 7 fish @ 19')

I don't live or fish in NY, But here in Ma a 19 1/2 fish is a biggie!!
Here the recerational have to get 17 1/2 and a bag of 7 fish. and I say why even go for them?

$3 for gas and a day of fishing and hope to get 17 1/2 fish let alone 7 of them!

The dragers are killing everything here!! State has allowed the dragers in the 3 mile limt and you are offten fishing right next to the dragers, and when you go to the fish house all the dragers have are HUGE JUMBOS!! what happened to all there small?? I will tell you they culled them out and throw them back DEAD!

Lots of talk the last few years of a Saltwater Lic. here in MA, I have already sent letters out, I will never buy one! What are they doing for the recreation guy? They can't stock the fish, they keep cutting access to the water, and now they don't even protect the inshore water from over fishing!
Recerational fisherman is what keeps the ecomony going!! not the draggers! We buy the boats, gas, rods, tackle, bait, ect ect ect...

This is why I have never gave up my Commercial Lic. I can get 14" fish 200 pounds a day, and that use to be easy!! Not so now a days!!
