Hi Folks,
Are you anglers in CT, RI, and Ma staying up to date on what the Federal commissions might do to our fluke seasons in 2007. 78% reduction to 5.2 million pounds, reduced from 19.? pounds, for recs and commercials OR a closed season.
In NY we are fighting hard. Many groups have joined forces, United Boatmen of NY and NJ, Recreational Fishing Alliance of NY and NJ, Marine Trades Assoc., NYFTTA (tackle dealers), surf fishing organizations and many more.
Please go to
www.mels-place.com click in the box at the bottom of the Home page that mentions fluke. You will then get to read a very informative and consise article about this problem. Please check this out as it affects all of the States on the East Coast that have a fluke fishery.
This is only the beginning. Porgys, sea bass, blues, are all on the list to be hit. If we lose the fluke fight I hate to think about all the others we will lose. I feel the fplks behind this are out to eliminate our rights to go fishing.
Please get involved.
Capt Neil
