ifishthebadspots Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 I don't get flounder/fluke regulations, could someone explain including how to tell them apart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicknotsebastian Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 flounder are smaller and have mouths like a sucker. small, round, hard bone, no teeth, “lips”. fluke are generally bigger, have a jaw and teeth (nasty teeth!). where you are fishing and with what bait/lure can also pretty well determine what you will and will not get. cape cod bay with a small hook and little bits of clam or sand worm - flounder. sandy beach or S of cape cod / rhode island, NY, NJ with any lure or a sand eel, spearing, squid strip, etc - bigger than a finger tip - fluke …:) ifishthebadspots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is slot size 16.5 for flounder? From your description, I assume what I caught was fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripahslayah Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Took a 3 hour ride around Buzzards Bay this morning in search of birds hopefully working on bait balls. Nothing to speak of for my first trip of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
