new....new york fluke regs

Post by randall »

my friend stanley and i put the 19 1/2 inch fluke regs to the test today....took ten fish to get the first keeper (threw back a 19 7/16 (i offered to stand on it a bit) but i guess it was good karma as we limited out....threw back 9 fish over 19 inches...caught 40 in all.......fun day

I have heard of Fluke and never really knew what a Fluke looked like......In the south we call those fish Flounder...........Looks the same, I assume that its the same fish.

I have vacationed in Maine and I always look forward to eating Haddock but do not have a clue what they look like............guess if I really thought about it I could look find a picture on the net.

I found a spot while scube diving in the Gulf of Mexico (Concrete bridge rubble) that seems to be a haven for Flounder. We spear them but I have never speared Flounder as big as the ones that you shot Randall........Great Pics........Thanks

I'm not sure but indecision may or may not be my problem.

Toothy flounder?

Post by Capt. Mike Holmes »

The Southern flounder in Texas have teeth alright - fangs like a wolf! The same if not very similar fish. Ours probably don't make 22#, but they do top at least 13.

I love flounder, very small internal cavity, not much to have to throw away and easy to clean. Made for comsumption, just like those big blue crabs with the pop-top opener on their belly.
