Talk about dysfunctional - NC flounder 2023: two different season, two different limits

 Full article from the Carolina Sportsman and Writer Jerry Dilsaver

If you want to discourage recreational fishermen from bringing all that money to the NC coast, this is a great way to do it!!!

 A major part of the problem arises from fishermen needing to travel through waters where the season is closed to fish in waters where the season is open. They’re fine on the way to fish, but any flounder they keep becomes an illegal catch when they travel through the closed waters on their way home. Many of the creeks that will be open for flounder fishing during the September 1-14 WRC season don’t have marinas or launching ramps and fishermen must cross closed waters to get there and back.
