Thanks for the info.......

Regs are NOT set for the year yet. Public Hearing this week at Marine HQ in Old Lyme - check the DEP web site for details. Only changes are fluke& scup - Fluke - the most favorable option is 6 fish at 17.5 inches - season opener around April 30. (NY open will be in mid-May). Scup - 100 day open season, 10.5 inch length, 25 fish bag (slighty different regs for party/charter are being considered for scup fishery.)

Yes, there is truth to the Party/Charter fishery (60 fish) - this is under discussion. I was at a meeting with numerous Party boat captains from NY/Mass/RI/CT on this issue - while I do not advocate different limits for sportsfishing it is a huge economic issue for them - many of the boats are almost out of business.

While in ny waters, you fall under ny season and possession limits. You also have to comply with ct limits upon your return.

It's a case of the lowest denominator. It's worse if you also fish or pass through r.i. waters.
