Are we getting past labour day?

[ziggy]

so how are the Halibut #’s? Are we going to make it past labour day? Should know by now or had a pretty good idea after July review?

Like last year they’ll probably make a surprise announcement. Hate to keep the public informed! Hope the new Minister conducts a review of his Department and clears out some of the high echelon dead wood.

Well if I was a betting man id say YES it will close early as they have set a precedent...I hear that they are hitting them VERY hard up north ....you been warned.....

yep

Hali fishing in the straits of JDF was downright depressing this Spring. We got a grand total of 1 on my boat. Hoping to get a few offshore out of Barkley later this week before it closes.

Any of you guys in the know have any recent info?

I heard from Chris Bos (SVIAC) that as of last month we were tracking well and on target to make it to the end of the year!!

Two small ones for me and a buddy on one trip and blanked on the 6 or 7 other trips.

Sort of what I was thinking.

i like where this thread is going......
No halibut, don't even target them.....just stay home

 

[hambone]

Zero for myself

I’ve gone 0 for 0 this year.mostly because I’m not experienced at anchoring and am anti-dying these days.

Only anchor when I have someone with me. Not comfortable enough yet to anchor when I'm alone.

No. It means that guys weren't as successful so that would mean we didn't chew up through the quota as previous years. That is what that meant.

I got two on my first trip, lost two by the boat on my second trip, didn't try on trip 3, got one and shared it with 3 others on trip 4, and 4 of us got 7 on trip 5.
I'm happy with what I have and happy others will get more chances until at least Sept 27th.
