First lets assume the summer flounder regs in RI drops from 7 to 4 and seabass remains the same. The headboats will target jumbo seabass and fluke become the secondary target. For $60 per trip this will surely happen unless there is a total change in philosophy. I was lucky enuf to ride over 30 hb trips last season. I saw plenty of 18 1/2ers ready for this season and a surprising # of jumbo seabass which I prefer anyway mixed in. By using specific techniques one could come away with a nice pail of seabass all summer long.
I rarely fish fluke in my home state of Ct because of regs. The only time I do is to go for days I go for the Ultimate Challenge
of limits which I have done.The Ct limit challenge of 2 -19'' fluke, 25 seabass,25 scup, 10 bluefish, and my 2-40" bass. That will keep some of you
on the water and away from yard work
