Just curious to know if there is any update on fluke regs. Can't believe that season is less than forty days away. Assuming that old season start date will apply, May 2nd if legislations does not enact new policy in time? George, please advise.
Regulations Update for 2003
Here's what you can expect to happen this year
None of these are official yet but this is what you an expect to see for this year.
Striped Bass:
Same regulations as last year, with an extension of the season in 2004 opening April 15. There is a chance that this years season may open early but due to the legislative process it may extend beyond that date.
Fluke:
Same size and bag as last year with a year round open season. There is a chance that this years season may open early but due to the legislative process it may not.
Toutog
The same size and bag but the 1-fish bag from June through Sept will be eliminated. Meaning you will not be able to keep the one fish during that time period.
Cod and Haddock:
23 Inch minimum (up from 21) and a 10-fish bag
Scup
10-inches 50-fish with no closed season any longer.
Sea Bass
12-inch minimum with a 25-fish bag. Closed first 2-weeks in September and the entire month of December
No changes for weakfish, bluefish or winter flounder.
