I don't think you'll ever see the volume of fish that size down south, I think it's a function of food and habitat. Bigger fish are north due to the massive amounts of baitfish and the ample structure. I'd be curious to know if any tagged fluke every migrate far north. I've caught a few and the ones I've mailed in have been caught from the same general area in a previous year...so they definitely seem to return to the same grounds each year?

I was always under the impression that fluke migrated 15-30 miles north when they came back in from the continental shelf. who is tagging the fish you catch?

 

Yeah Im dying to head north this year for fluke... The Dbay is done.... I did ok in the back bays but that was early when the season first opened

Just saw this posted on FB...unreal.

200# limited on commercial guys, and they have to throw the remainder back...wow, what a waste!

 

[Palawman30]

What a disgrace.....

 

And this is happening up and down the coast

Yeah it's horrible...and that is happening DAILY on commercial boats that are subject to that 200# limit...ridiculous to waste fish like that.
