Is there a general consensus, Mike? Option 12 would still be better than NY's best option... 1/2" less than us, 3 more fish per person, & an open season. Besides, from my (little) personal experience, and from hearing other people talk about it, you guys sure do seem to have a significant population of quality fluke up there. Mabey a 20" size wouldn't be anywhere near as bad as for most places in NY, especially since you'll have the benefit of no closed season & a bag of 7.

big deal we had open season last year and they close on us !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!they going to do what they want.

No one closed the season on "us." it opened in May and closed in Sept. just as it was scheduled to do.



Right, that was NEW YORK'S DEC that did that to NY anglers. Like I said in a prevoius topic, RI seems to be, overall, a much more "fish friendly" state than NY.

And, like CaptPaul has said in regards to our situation in NY, which can be applied to RI in this case, no one is saying that these regs are justified, ie. fluke are in trouble and need stringent regs. Not the case at all! It's just a question of which option would be somewhat less painful to the majority of anglers in the state.
