The 'Pertinent Websites' sticky thread on this forum has links to all of the important sites but I am not sure if that is what you are talking about or not. The best place to find specific regs would probably be to look at the threads in this forum since most of the regs get discussed at some point.

I noticed that the regs link was missing the other day too. Maybe it was part of the redesign and no one noticed till now.

There's still a link available if you go to the top right of your page on click on the state edition that you want. Then you'll find a link on the next page for regulations. But it seems that they all take you to a blank page. I'll ask Nerd about it.

I dont recall if it was under the Fishing Updated tab or the Fishing Info tab, but there used to be a "Fishing Regulations" link. I know the information is available through other links, but it was convenient having a direct link thru Noreast. I wonder if this was an oversight or intentionally left out of the new design.

I spoke to the owner about it. It seems that will the frequency of the changes to every state's regs we couldn't keep up with the changes. Eventually there will be a link to each state's webpage. If you click the tab at the top of the page for your state, you will see a link to "regulations." right now it will bring up a blank page, but eventually it will take you to that state's webpage.

Thanks for the responses. That's what I had figured was going on. I have Noreast saved as a favorite on my smartphone and sometimes even log into the site when I am on the boat. The Regs tab comes in handy when fishing different waters (like NY/CT) and you pick up a fish that you weren't targeting. Obviously now with all the changes going on its an important reference!

5 years on this site and today is the first time I ever clicked on that button.

It took awhile, the DEC website is not very user friendly in navigating it. The summer flounder regs there state no possession allowed, the scup regulations look reasonably consistent, but not exact with what had been posted by others on this site (the site has the same 10.5 inch scup minumum for both charter/party and recs where I remember it had been different).
Seems to me that confusion is the order of the day when it comes to the regs, hopefully the DEC officers handing out the tickets aren't as equally confused as I am at this point.

The DEC site is not only user-unfriendly, but it gets even less attention from those who are supposed to keep it updated. It was mentioned months ago, at an MRAC meeting, that the fluke regs, in particular, were causing great confusion amongst anglers. It was discussed that the DEC would give it attention, and I guess it was just some. It obviously is not considered an important management toll by those who can affect it's operation.
To make a point, the MRAC commissioners are representatives from the recreational and commercial sectors, and make only suggestions to the DEC about regulations and other policies affecting the marine resources. There is no rule that requires DEC to follow the recommendations. In fact, there are plenty of examples where the DEC diverged from MRAC resolutions. They can do whatever they feel like w/ fluke, as long as the regs are at least as restrictive as one of the twelve options proposed. Same w/ scup, as long as there are no more than 126 consecutive days of season for either sector (private and for-hire), and the bag is no more than ten fish (except for the 45-consecutive-day, 45 fish/angler bonus season for the for-hire industry), and the minimum size is not lower than 10 1/2" for the private sector, and 11" for the for-hire vessels. Of course, there is no incentive to further constrict the scup regs, since it is managed regionally, and if we are reported to catch too many in NY
this year, it doesn't matter as much as it would w/ fluke, w/ is magaged by state. Strange, but the reason they would restrict fluke regs more is to make themselves look like they are managing the species better- even though they are basically given the regs by the scientific community.

Those are last years rules, which remain in effect until changed. So technically those are he rules at this point in time. Right now it is illegal to possess fluke, and it will continue to be illegal until the DEC puts out the new rules.
