I totally agree with Capt. Mike and Tear em up, they are guys from two different waterways that fish alot and have a keen sense of whats going on in their areas and have seen how these fisheries have developed over alot of years.
Again any commercial method with a slot limit that kills most caught fish is a joke, and these methods should maybe be closely monitored and a limit of pounds be put on them and when reached close the commercial fishing like they do with tuna. I think most responsible commercial fishermen will agree with it.
We struggle down here to catch a keeper flounder much less a limit and I blame that on alot of years when the commercial guys had a size limit much smaller that ours, granted good management of marine fisheries requires co-operation of states which I think is kind of non existant for lots of speciess like flounder, but theres lessons to be learned for sure!
A tidal limit on crappie would be a good thing for sure for all fishermen!
