H means that a female fluke which reaches sexual maturity at about 10 inches might have a chance to spawn at least three times before becum mg 14 inches or over As for the conservation message it take* little imagination to realue thai if angler* were v ompelied to throw back all lluke under 14 inches, some of the throwback* just might survive and get bigger IT MltfMT Hfr: well to point out that the commer cia! industry hits had a 14 inch minimum for fluke for many years How effec live this has been is a moot question, since we have seen lots of less than 14 inch duke on sale in markets and in restaurants Once the rod and reel angler gets pressure to throw back all fluke under 14 inches, perhaps then and then only will he start to scream about the undersixe fluke in the market We make no blanket condemn* tion of the commercial fishermen who bring in under 14 inch fluke if any do We do condemn, on the other hand, the so called sportsman angler who need* a loo or 125 fish total to bolster his ego when he brags about bis catch to anyone who wants to listen PKKMAPh. once the duke regulation is in place, anglers who are hogging up on mackerel, hluefish. sea bass, porgies. blackftsh. tuna, or in fact, any of our fishes which swim the Jer sev ( ape coast and inland and hay waters, might get the message ( ontinue to hog up on fish and more regulations will come down During the height of the weakftsh run. thousands of big weakfish were dumped by anglers who caught them and didn't know what to do with them Lots of rod and reel anglers caught loads of fish and then looked for markets to peddle them Some rod and reel anglers actually fished to sell their fish It is done with mackerel, both the seeking of a market to sell them and the waste which comes with catching more than one can use BLl KKISH. TOO. get ' overfished at times Anglers get caught up in feeding frenzies and load up with fish When the boat docks, the fish are either left on the deck, thrown into a dumpster or dumped by the side ' 0
