Effective Date: July 2, 2019
Summer Flounder
For the summer flounder recreational fishery, we are continuing “conservation equivalency.” This means we waive the federal recreational bag limit, minimum fish size, and fishing season, and vessel owners are subject to regulations in the state where they land.
Please contact your state for information on summer flounder regulations that apply to you.
