LOWER TOWNSHIP _ Marina owners and commercial fishing docks in the Port of Cape May are banding together to fight a winter-time ban on dredging designed to protect a fish that doesn’t seem to even exist here.

 

“I’ve never seen a winter flounder here. I’ve tried. I went fishing for them three times and never caught one,” said Bob Lubberman, owner of a marina here at Schellenger’s Landing.

 

Lubberman used to catch winter flounder when he lived in Connecticut so he knows what they look like. He heard they used to be caught in nearby Jarvis Sound but that was years ago.

 

It’s much the same up and down a landing that includes numerous marinas, bait and tackle shops, whale-watching vessels, seafood restaurants and markets, and the second largest commercial fishing port on the East Coast.
