Keeper fluke in 2026

Hoping the powers that be significantly reduce the length of the fluke season this year, which should, in turn, allow anglers to keep 18" fish. It would be a big help here on the north side. Am I dreaming?
Happy New Year, Holty

I think i read that 26 and 27 will follow 25s regs.

They really should reduce the bag limit and the length of season. Adding the half inch in August is ludicrous.

Agreed. The length in season was given with the addition of the 0.5". I don't go for Fluke in October.

Not many folks do................

But had a real solid September this year, right in the middle.

What they SHOULD do is have regulations more in line with NJ. What they WILL do is continue the status quo because NY regs are based on politics not science.
