Flounder —
The new regulations adopted by the TPW commission today are an attempt to reverse a long-term downward trend in the abundance of southern flounder.
TPWD Coastal Fisheries Division data shows that the relative abundance of flounder has fallen by about 50 percent since the early 1980s.
The new regulation reduces the recreational bag limit from 10 to 5 fish, and the commercial bag limit from 60 to 30 fish.
Hook and line anglers will be permitted a 2 flounder daily bag limit during the month of November, with take by all other gear prohibited.
In short, no gigging in November
