Besides Connecticut never puts out numbers for anything on a timely basis. Note: NY DEC has already reduced tog to 4 fish at 14" but not yet set the fluke limits. CT needs to print the reg book and give them out before they get the actual numbers.
That said one of the best wildlife management tools is to reduce the catch limit to the point no one will target the specie.
Another thing that I just don't understand is the size keeps going up yet for stripers you can take fish just in their second year of breeding. If it's because of numbers, I'd like to see some REAL science used to approximate fish numbers, as anyone that thinks the way it's being done now is accurate is being foolish.
