Fluke
Winter flounder
Tautog
Bluefish
Weakfish
Atlantic Cod
Pollock
Striped bass
Spanish mackerel

NO SHAD......?
I never kept more then 3 of those fish and I'm not trying to start anything here but ....
How could they ticket you for taking too many Shad when they dont list it on the guidlines sent to us by the police dept.
I was told from an old timer @ my marina who asked me to bring him any shad as he loves to eat them that there was NO Limit on Shad, this guys been in the game for most of his 80 yrs.
I thought it was like Boston Mackerel where you can load up on them if you desire.
This is the first Ive heard of a limit, I'm not really disagreeing , Just making the point they should LIST IT ON THE DEC INFO SENT TO US WITH THE OTHER FISH!!
Is there a GOV. Website that has this " SHAD LIMIT" listed ?
thanks, Alan
