ThrowinPlugs Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Not that I'm expecting much difference. But anyone have the regs for this year? The site hasn't been updated and I need some solid dates for fluke etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWitek Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Fluke and black sea bass will be the same as last year, as will bluefish, weakfish and just about everything else. Scup (porgies) will probably go to a year-round season, and the bag limit for anglers on for-hire boats during the "bonus season" (September and October) will probably increase from 45 to 50 fish. That's not a certainty, but the odds are that it will happen. There is a very slight chance that striped bass regulations could change at some point this fall, but the odds are high that nothing will happen there until 2020--and maybe not then, depending on whether ASMFC wants to move ahead with an addendum or an amendment, with the latter taking much more time.

Even so, the fact that they're even thinking about such a thing provides some reason to hope that folks on the Management Board are taking this one seriously. banjer and JoeGBreezy 2 "I have always believed that outdoor writers who come out against fish and wildlife conservation are in the wrong business.
