So, they probably will be changed, yes? Are Flounder on the endangered list or something?

That's enough for a sandwich..           Hardly worth the trip, fuel, bait, cleanup..      I doubt many will be targeting them very much unless you do a combo trip with different species.

Me, my Mom and Dad used to go right to the Belmar Marina and fish off the lil dock area there at high tide...that was many MANY year ago, I was like 10. I have seen people fishing there before, but that doesn't mean they knew what they were doing.  I agree with Eddie, I wouldn't want to spend too much for 2 12' fish.   BUT I am in to go fish off a small dock or wall that may still be functioning (and safe).  The news was a lil promising for a change re: Belmar.  They said they weren't raising the badges this year since the comunity stuck together to get things moving. They are trying to be the first to cut the red ribbon on the new board walk!  135 years and counting...We'll see!

If you really want flounder, head to Mass and fish Quincy May/June...you wont be disappointed.
