Roosters Flukin 7-17-15

Fishing for Fluke this season has been tough for Tom and I as we have many reliable spots that over the years has provided many keeper size fish. This is no longer the case as trying our spots this year does not yield many fish, all small with many trash fish in our way. However today we each got a keeper near the Nude beach just before the tide change this morning, once the wind started blowing from the South we headed in to try the bay area spots to no avail. Killie trapping has been very good. I guess this leaves crabbing the rivers.  Pete

I hear you loud and clear .Your not in any kind if a minority .Think most of us are in the same boat ,or at least I 'am .

I too feel your pain. I have one keeper this year and my bud has 3. We average 2 trips a week for at least a couple hours.

Short fish numbering in the hundreds. Many just short. The current regs are for the birds- they are the only ones eating (my used bait.)

If we had 3 at 16"+ then the other 5 at 18"+

Altho then all the fish we'd catch would be 15-3/4" instead of 17-3/4"
