Early Halibut Opening
- Thread starter carpeweekend
- Start date
ping pong is worst way to go as right now age class is all ping pongs...they eat up most of tac every year

even mentioning purchasing tac as a sportfisherman makes me rage inside, possibly outside if i see it.

I’d have no issue with it but I bet some guides US clients make up over half of their buisness
It would be interesting to know how much of the rec tac is used up by non Canadians

At the Gold River launch parking area I’d count Washington state plates every year in July when I got there. Over half the plates in the parking were Washington state with a few Oregon thrown in. Most were serious bottom fishermen.

Do you, or anyone else know how things like the mortality from the trawl bycatch are factored in? I assume the mortality numbers in the chart are from the commercial halibut fishery only? Maybe it’s accounted for somewhere else?

Maybe we don't sell Americans BC fishing licenses. Screw em.

Going to be very challenging - after deduction for last seasons overage of approximatly 30,000 we will have roughly 650,250 pounds to work with. To put in perspective that is -154,000 pounds less than we had last season. Its similar to the TAC we need to run the fishery for June.
Im not seeing how theres enough to run a full season. Might be enough for a June to August fishery.

They would be paying us with funny money anyways so probably don’t mind.

I wonder how many days of the week you would have to shut down to effect or reduce the amount of halibiut people at lodges were keeping
To me it seems it would be more fair to do that and have the season open longer
Maybe only have halibiut open on saturdays and Sundays
In the summer and open everyday the rest of the year

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe the SFAB can make a recommendation that doesn't include a full season. They are locked into that one from membership.
Could be wrong on that though.
