I was so mad when i spend hours with luck and when i finaly got one fluke it was 16″ and i was told to release since it had to be 21″ is crazy, who makes these laws and who vote to it. politician only make laws to benefit corporations, not the people who voted for them…this is crazy this is like communism, they control what we do, where we spend our money, what we eat everything and they do it just to benefit big boys top dollars friends, where they migth even are share holders. i dont know i’m just so mad….. very very mad….. the big boy sould have this limits not us …… crazy crazy crazy

Used to fish for fluke when I was a kid and into my teens . Gave up back in the early 90′s when finding a keeper back then was hard . Switched over to Blues ,not as good on the table but brought some home for freezer just the same !! Went fishing in Jersey last week where the size is 18 ” w/ a bag limit of 6 . Total fluke in the cooler = 1 . Just to show that 21″ is totally out the question and only 2 for the day is rediculous ,I won’t be shelling out $65 for a day to only come home w/ the impossible of 2 21″ fish !! New York Party Boats are finished .I spent all my early years on City Island and then SheepsHead Bay .The next time I go there rest assured it won’t be for Fluke !!!!!

UNFORTUNATELY THE RULES ARE NOT FAIR FOR ALL.WHY DOES NEW YORK GET THE SHAFT WHEN NEW JERSEY AND CONN HAVE DIFFERENT RULES ALLOWING THEM TO CATCH MORE FISH?

Does anyone out there realize why the commercial guys are doing what they are doing? Where did you buy fish ten years ago? At a Fishmonger, now where do you buy fish? Every Supermarket has a fishcounter where a whole counter full of fish lay until they are thrown away at the end of the week because not enough was sold to the public that demanded this counter be there. How many tons of fish must go in the garbage every week.
if you have to buy fish buy it at a fish store not the supermarket, let the store owners close these counters down so the commercial guys will need to cut down their haul every day and leave some for the recreational fisherman.

The regular person does not matter. All the fish belong to the commercial fishermen. Recreational fishers are not entitled to any. The commercial trawlers have the nets to take them all and they do. They are not stopped. They catch small fish and big fish. Just look at the filets in the stores. Some of them obviously come from very small fish. The recreational fisherman must forget fishing. Maybe we should learn to raise chickens.

If your fishing for food, guess your out of luck, keepers are going to be few and far between, looks like I will be going to the fish market a lot more now, thats if I can aford it! I guess you just can’t win.

last year we caught 50 to 75 fluke a trip,with many in the 17″ plus range.most days went home with 1 to 2 keepers!how many of them survived?sadly enough,not without the appropriate precautions,some were foul hooked!is it the limit or the size?i wish i had the answer.i can say that I DONT BELIEVE that 21″ will help in the long run!what are our brothers in nj and ct putting in their ice boxes at the end of the day?
