I don't even put our bay boat back in until fluke season. with our first boat I was in in March and out in mid November. Regarding cormorants- wings and feet into your garbage, bury the carcass in your garden. 'Nuff said.
They have to stock winter flounder to bring them back

Benny,you talking about Milti on the North Star. That old crab used to argue with everyone on board. I was aboard one day with a small crowd. He put out a clothes line with a dozen hooks attached on both ends with rods,and caught fish.

We've been getting them as by-catch when clamming for Ling in the mudhole last few years.

Not wishing to cast aspersions, but do people eat the fish in Jamaica Bay that live there year round like flounder ? I can see stripers, blues, weaks as long as I was convinced they were not "resident."

Winter flounder do migrate out of the bay. Some are heldover.
I caught a out of season winter blackback flounder by the
bridge this one time in September when I was slinging tins for snappers.
I was able to see it shoot from the bottom and smack my tin.
I landed it and released it. If that's not dumb luck than I don't
know what is and yes I know the difference between a winter
flounder and a fluke.

My father would take my brother and I to the various shore spots in the Quogue Canal. Always came home with a meal and sometimes more. Once I was able to drive I found other spots that were off the beaten trail in the same area and always amazed him with how many I could find! He was more of a park and fish. I would carry two rods and a chum bucket. 30 minutes or so in a spot and move on. Bulkheads, docks, pilings etc.

I miss those days also, but sadly no matter what we do they will never return to our inshore waters. I agree there should be no targeting them in bays ie ; fyke nets, but it's just too late. These fish are thriving offshore, yet not inshore. There are many many studies showing the increase in water temps changing it all. As the flounder and fluke head out of the sound it starts to fill with more southern fish like sea bass.
As for the south shore bays, they just aren't entering or they're not staying long. Sadly we could never stock enough to bring them back. Besides they just won't come back inside. It was attempted years ago, but it was stopped.
You can disagree with climate change and it's causes, but you cannot deny the actual water temps are rising much faster than in the rest of the world and it's effects are evident. Hell, there's now a targeted tarpon fishery in the Chesapeake Bay. Things are changing and as they do, science has to catch up.

The old Crossbay bridge had wood pilings running alongside the bridge.
Every 20 yards or so. You were able to put your body under the bridge
and with a shovel smash the muscles that were on the pilings. Creating
our own chum slick. Tide heading in right direction and pitching your baits
accordingly. Can't get more genius than that. 😆
