If you’ve been paying attention to what’s happening with the fisheries management in North Carolina, you might be scratching your head wondering just what happened…
The closures, the one-sided rulings, and what recreational anglers are being told just doesn’t make sense…
So I brought on special guest Steve Brewster (from Fishing with Brewski on YouTube) to share everything he’s uncovered in this unfortunate mismanagement of our public resources.
Fasten your seatbelt… this is a good one.
Tight lines and enjoy!

Thank You Joe for giving this mind blowing look into North Carolina’s inequity in the flounder fishery. My story is one of year after year seeing schools of small(8-12”)gray trout moving out of the Chesapeake Bay near Virginia’s Eastern Shore supposedly heading for North Carolina and never returning.
Very educational and thank you Steve for doing all the work. Very frustrating such an important podcast gets three responses. Fisherman seem to be their own worst enemy it takes such a minimal effort to get results.
The current school of thought here (NJ) is that summer flounder migrate offshore in the winter,When the return in the spring they do so in a northerly direction in other words NJ fish become NY fish. If this is accurate NJ poor fish this year may be the result of NC over fishing,
Once again absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Didn’t listen to the podcast or watch the video but if they are suffering from what we are here in Florida I’m confused as well because for us closing the season for flounder for 6 weeks but letting the commercial giggers still gig to me makes about ad much sence as putting your hand in a meat grinder and expecting nothing to happen I mean really anybody with common sence knows the commercial fisherman are the main contributors to depleting any fishery whether it be flounder snapper or whatever when commercial fisherman can use a net or any other way of catching there lions share of fish and the recreational angler only can catch one at a time it’s obvious who’s doing the damage and that’s sad in my book because the ones making the rules have no god given clue what’s going on in fact most don’t even fish but go by statistics or some other stupid means of getting there misguided info from pretty stupid and sad because you as well as everyone else knows they know better but they just don’t care because numbers mean money that’s the bottom line period😮💨🤔
Absolutely
Great podcast!
Thanks Pat! Definitely eye-opening info on what’s really happening behind the scenes
