Now that CT is in a regional situation for fluke regs, is there still going to be an "Enhanced Shoreline" opportunity for these species in 2014?

I haven't heard anything about it, but I will check for you.

Capt ^^ would know better than me though. I'd go by whatever he says.

Just got this from the Director of Marine Fisheries:

Yes we will still have the enhanced shore sites. NY and NJ are both considering doing their own programs at a small scale. NJ is thinking about trying one site. NY I doubt will do anything but are keeping their options open.

I think its a great program, I wish they would expand to striped bass, like 1 at 22".

100% agree with this - I C&R most stripers but I'd love to be able to legally keep a smaller (more delicious) one now and then!

They have! You can get a voucher for a smaller fish. I forget the size, but it was one at greater then 24" with the voucher I think.
