winter flounder trouble

Absolutely correct-It almost doesn't pay for a private boater to winter flounder fish.Of course we all(old timers) remember the 50's and 60's when the sound was paved with 'em.With the proper management ,perhaps the fishery could make a comeback. I could never understand why the feds or states don,t shut down the fishery for whatever time it takes or create harsher regs.Look I love all you guys in the industry but we all have to bite the bullet until the fishery recovers-it will then pay off in spades for all. unfortunately this all has the smell of politics as usual .I don't understand how we get our chops busted over summmer flounder(fluke) which seem to be doing nicely but the flounder are still open game--Can anyone explain this situation?

Flounder Trouble

Jat-

Yes its true that fisherman have increased-but how come Fluke for instance can stand up to the increase,but not flounder?No- overfishing and too high limits that make no sense are the problems
