new rules on flounder gigging

spot remover · 07-06-2009, 02:37 PM

I keep hearing an ugly rumor that we will possibly be forced to give up gigging or limited to just one fish in the near future is this true and does any one have ant facts about this?

Isaw something in FL Sportsman about a proposal of going from a 12'' to a 14'' size and a 5 fish limit instead of a 10 fish, they are also talking about closing the season in Nov. During the spawn

I could live with these proposals.5 is enough to feed a family.

I bet they will next limit you to one testicle per man. I can see it now. Can't let anyone have more than one!

Maybe the marine biologist (Karon) on here will chime in and correct me if I'm wrong, but I somewhere, somehow I was under the impression that male adult Flounder only get from 12" to 14" so by kicking up the size limit won't we just be getting the females?

Why aren't scientists more involved in these matters?

What kind of limits are they changing for the commercial guy?

You know the answer to that NONE they never do. Thats taxable catch uncle sam gets his chunk of commercial catch less fish means less money...
