2024 and 2025 Fluke Regulatory Options>> News Alert- >>>TIME SENSITIVE March 4th deadline
The fluke options being considered for both 2024 and 2025 are listed below. Whichever one the NJMFC chooses will be in effect for both 2024 and 2025. JCAA member clubs voted unanimously to support option 32, 3 fluke at a minimum size of 18". This would give us by far the longest season, starting earlier in the spring and ending much later in the fall than any of the other options. It also shortens the gap from when fluke season ends until sea bass season begins. The special regulations for Delaware Bay (3 fish 17" or greater) and Island Beach State Park (2 fish 16" or greater) are expected to remain the same. Scup (Porgy) will vary slightly depending on which fluke option is chosen. The Sea Bass regs will remain exactly the same as they were in 2023: 12 ½" for all seasons 5/17- 6/19 (10 fish) 7/1-8/31 (1 fish) 10/1-10/31 (10 fish) 11/1-12/31 (15 fish) Submit a Public Comment TODAY The New Jersey Marine Fisheries Council is seeking public comment on the 2024 NJ
