Posted on February 12, 2021 NJ fluke proposal was approved The recent virtual meeting of the ASMFC and Mid-Atlantic Council approved New Jersey’s proposal for their fluke season that would open the Friday before Memorial Day (May 28) and make up for the delayed opening at the end of the season to conclude on Sept. 28. There was no change in other regulations for that fishery. It was a shame that there wasn’t a liberalization of regulations last year as the pandemic greatly reduced fishing opportunities for anglers. Northeast winds return even though they are only 10-15 knots with gusts to 20 early tomorrow — along with sleet or rain.
