[quote name='1tym' post='10172' date='Apr 1 2008, 09:38 AM']i remember when the buses from all over the east side of US came for the flounder in quincy bay. I remember the plywood skiffs being filled til they were inches from being capsizing.. people use to fill drums with filets..
flounder was thought to be so abundant it wouldnt be exhausted.. it was like scup fishing..
and they say the flounder are coming back..
never will i see those days..
funny thing. I wasn't even alive for those days. yet they remain in my memories from the old tymers.
I hate to see scup go like that too. but i doubt they will since we have fisheries management now.[/quote]
Yeah I've heard of the same stories, till this day I still havent caught a flounder!
