Thumbs down • Fluke Regs •

2008 Fluke Regs

2008 Fluke Regs

State...Min. Length...Daily creel limit...Open Season

CT......19.5".........5 fish..............May 24 - Sep 1
NY......20.5".........4 fish..............May 15 - Sep 1
RI.......20" ..........7 fish ..............Jan 01 - Dec 31

Post RI or other states and I'll add them to the list.

I just hope they don't close on Sep 1 and then re-open for "commercial" only after the season ends AGAIN!

What in the heyday is up with this?

RI.......20" ..........7 fish ..............Jan 01 - Dec 31

RI is open 365 days for Fluke?, and the rest of us get cooked, closing on September 1 (which is plain stupid).

Considering I port out of CT:

CT......19.5".........5 fish..............May 24 - Sep 1

The above aren't really that bad. Yeah, the size is up a bit, but I typically fish RI and NY waters anyway for Fluke, so I have to go bigger anyway.

LOL believe it or not, of the numerous proposals they considered, the 20" year-round season was the best option "theoretically" (like anyone really knows what the proposals will do to the stock before it happens).

Don't be surprised to see all the states with the same regs next year as the fedeal regestry includes all species next year instead of just bass.

I don't limit out on fluke too often so I wish they had kept the lesser size and just lowered the daily limit.
Just my thought

Fishcounterbob, I hear ya. Scup was regional this year and I expect most species to follow.
elwell, I'd be happy with a longer season and smaller daily, but that's because I like to fish fluke, starting in May and well into september.
They also could have gone with a split limit say 1 under 18" and 2 or 3 over 20".
That way more guys would at least get to bring home one for supper.
Meanwhile commercials still take 14" fish.
