If you have not seen it, check NYS DEC website for 2008 fish regs,
NO POSESSION OF FLUKE as of 1/31/08 --- when the season closed last September -- IT CLOSED
at least we can still get stripers

Last I heard NJ still has a short season. The tricky part is if you're from NJ, get the fish in NJ waters, but cross the state line on your way home and get caught, your fined.

Some talk that the seals taking up residence in the bays past few winters have increased in size and are feeding on the fluke.

May add to it.
