Flounder coming back in a big way. Can you guess why?

This happens to coincide with the reduction in both the amount of time and the amount of gear that gill netters can use... finally. Even though we did not get our gill net ban, at least we got something, and the fishing for both anglers and commercials can only get better from here.
