Anyone receive their flounder papers yet? Just curious (I know the website says they don't start processing them until Jan 1).

No - I don't expect mine until later. They usually do them alphabetically (amberjack, black seabass, cobia...) I'm sure there are others I left out, but the "F's" will be later, and "S's" for speckled trout will be a lot later...

I got a black drum citation over the summer still havent got it yet

 

[TNBoyd]

Yeah - you'll be one of the first to get yours, but remember, the VSWFT is staffed by only a few, and they must wait until the end of the year numbers before processing. You will only receive one citation plaque (or whatever you chose) per species. For example, if you caught 3 citation blacks last summer - an 85#, a 90# and a 94#, then you will receive ONE plaque for the 94#. If you had any release citations, the number would be on the 94# plaque.
I caught 2 citation flounder one day, with the 7-14 being the largest. I'll get a plaque for that one only. and like so many other people this year, I'll be anxiously awaiting my plaque for a 6-8 speck.
There are many more qualified "citation hunters" out there who may offer more info, but I fish for the fun of it. (and the filets) :yes:
Does this help?

For some reason I have already gotten my spadefish citation. I don't think they are going alphabetically this year.

Thanks for the info--I'm certainly not a trophy hunter--my 9 8 flounder was the only fish I caught (kept) that day Just bored now that duck season is over.
