AI Fishing Regs

George, you're out of business, LOL:

I asked what bait to use for fluke and where to go. the answer is a bit general and not sure I agree 100% since I've caught big fluke in 80-90 feet, and it did not mention sea robin strips or even fluke belly or spearing. It also confuses live bait with dead bait, so I'll probably keep coming back to NYangler, but for a general answer, not bad.

For fluke (summer flounder), some of the best baits include:

Live bait: Minnows, small fish, and squid.
Cut bait: Strips of fish like mackerel or bluefish.
Artificial lures: Bucktail jigs tipped with a strip of squid or fish.
As for locations, fluke are commonly found in areas with sandy or muddy bottoms, such as:

Inlets and estuaries: These areas provide a mix of salt and freshwater, which fluke find appealing.
Nearshore waters: Look for them in waters ranging from 10 to 50 feet deep.
Reefs and wrecks: These structures can attract fluke, especially during the summer months.
For specific spots, you can use the DEC's Marine Boat Ramp and Fishing Access Interactive Map to find good fishing locations in New York's marine waters. Here's the link to the map: Marine Boat Ramp and Fishing Access Interactive Map.

Happy fishing, and I hope you catch a big one! 🎣

I sure everyone has their own twist to this, but pretty darn good.

To fillet a fluke (summer flounder), follow these steps:

1. Preparation:
   • Ensure you have a sharp fillet knife and a clean cutting surface.
   • Rinse the fluke with cold water to remove any debris.
2. Initial Cut:
   • Lay the fluke flat on the cutting surface with the dark side facing up.
   • Make a cut behind the gills and pectoral fin, down to the backbone.
3. Filleting the Dark Side:
   • Insert the knife at the initial cut and run it along the backbone towards the tail, keeping the blade as close to the bones as possible.
   • Carefully lift the fillet as you cut, separating it from the bones.
   • Repeat on the other side of the backbone to remove the second fillet from the dark side.
4. Filleting the White Side:
   • Flip the fluke over to the white side.
   • Repeat the same process: make a cut behind the gills and pectoral fin, then run the knife along the backbone towards the tail to remove the fillets.
5. Skinning the Fillets:
   • Place the fillet skin-side down on the cutting surface.
   • Starting at the tail end, insert the knife between the flesh and the skin.
   • Hold the skin firmly and slide the knife along the length of the fillet to separate the skin from the flesh.
6. Trimming:
   • Remove any remaining bones or dark flesh from the fillets.

Remember, when filleting a fluke, the white side fillet or white skin only of a legal size fluke may be removed to use as bait. The carcass of the fluke with the dark side completely intact must be retained for inspection of size limit and counts against the possession limit.

Happy fishing and filleting! 🎣

The answers you're getting are being handled by the AI. I never reef it any of that. I'm guessing much of this in on the DEC websites.

I will be feeding the AI Fishing reporter updated reports for this week and we area going to have it analyze that data.

This truly is groundbreaking.

Just look at the tag lines. Never the same and a fishing graphic? It's crazy!

IMHO opinion its pulling Data, fishing related or not, from the entire Web
.

Yeah, I need to fix that. These things don't listen well. I have been testing AI for a salesperson, and the person actually lies to get the sale.

I think I got it this time. I had deleted the data but somehow it remembers it anyway? I had to instruct to forget. This stuff is scary.

Nuance between Delete and Forget.
