I went out staurday and Sunday just for Fluke....caught 4 keepers on saturday and 2 on Sunday.
I had loads of throw backs. Was fishing off Atlantic beach in 45-65 ft.
I must of thrown back about 10 16.5inch fluke on Sunday. Now tell me this. Honestly. Who obeys the new 18 inch rule? I saw loads of small fish going into bats and few coming out. Back at the dock a guy was filleting for awhile while I cleaned the boat. Watched him for a bit when I was done and he cut up two, no more than 10" to 12".
If no one is playing by the rules, why the hell should I.
By the way, lost an absolute monster , must have been 10lbs+...my 9 yr old works the net, and he said he had, and well, no go. No yelling on father's day.....
They were hitting rigs with a slice of squid and a dead minnow. w/o the minnow, nothing.
