Now with all the extra pressure on Sea Bass and Porgies, those are going to be in big trouble.

Captree will be left with 1/2 day charters for Sea Robins.

At least the season is open all year. Good luck getting a 20" fish in the bay, By 2011 at this rate keepers will be 24.5 inches. Anyone else think it's nuts that as minimun size increases so does the TAC poundage for the quota. Bigger fish means more weight, and who is catching these keepers? Where is the rational and when will this BS stop ? I feel bad for you guys, I gave up.

Amen Rich, 19.5 is a spit in the face for all of us. I have never kept a short fluke, even last year with the several hundred fluke I caught and getting to keep maybe 2 dozen the entire year. This year I do it my way. Fuc* 'em.

The party boats and bait shops will be crushed, fluke are their bread and butter. What a shame...
