article on the winter flouder population crash

I remember going to Duxbury around the first couple weeks in April,
in 3 hours fishing you could catch a couple 5 gallon buckets of flounder all about 14-16 inches. Made for some great fish fries.
Oh well, lucky to catch a spider crab there now that time of year. Still catch a few (a very few) and a couple'togs, during the last couple weeks of April, first couple of May.

When I was a kid in the 60"S my dad and I would fish Duxbury from a small runabout around Clarks Ilsand and Saquhish Head ,tons of striper and fluke. The water was so clean you could see this stripers swim under the boat. Not like that any more is it. Does anyone fish there from the board. I wonder what it is like?
