Fellow Anglers,
Here is some information that was reported by Capt. Al Ristori today in his online blog that
I thought you should all be aware of:
"Commissioner Tom Fote returned from the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) meeting in R.I. with the bad news that N.J. finished with a recreational fluke catch that was over the state’s allocation by 191,000 fish. Even with a small increase in next year’s quota, it will be hard to overcome that overage without further tightening fluke regulations. Fote also reported that he had to fight to avoid a weakfish moratorium, though the bag limit will be dropped to one. That’s better than a shutdown as the fishery can be liberalized quickly should the stock improve." Sorry for the grim news, but I have to pass on everything I've heard to you all. How the hell did they calculate an exact amount such as 191,000 fish when they use estimates for their calculations.
Absolutely ridiculous!!! 
Capt. John
