I cant figure out how anyone needs 10 Halibut. With a salmon limit ,a ling limit and some prawns how can 1 family eat 10 29# halibut. As many know here i spend 4 1/2 months a year at TC and come home with our limit . We eat fish twice a week all year and no way with all the other limits would we need 10 halibut. I take 2 30# halibut a year as i like that size for eating. I realize very few Halibut fishers actually get 10 a year but blaming lodges or guides or commercial fishers and then the Americans will only make DFO happy that we , AGAIN, are fighting amounst ourselfs. Trust the people that are fighting for you and if you don’t, then step up, but do your research first
I've been stewing this around in my brain for so long I just didn't want to open that can because you know what happens when you do. Why not allow a fish or 2 and done. But then your talking total participation of anglers to count those fish. Almost need tags to manage it. Unless there's a easier way
I'd guess the opposite. I'd guess the biggest chunk of the tac is taken by the minority who feel the need to maximize their catch, take granny out to get extra limits etc. A smaller, reasonable limit of say five fish might give a longer season to those of us who can pace themselves. Assuming folks play by the rules.
That's exactly what I was going to add to my comment earlier. If the TAC is based on weight, so should your personal allotment.
It might be too complicated but what would be cool is at the time of purchasing your license for the year you could decide between 2 Halibut options. 10 fish with the regular max length or 5 fish with a slightly larger length . When you print the license it reflects your choice and you are stuck with your choice for the year.
I’m one of those who would love to take Granny out but unfortunately she’s been gone for years. I do however take multiple people out individually which include, 2 friends and 5 family members. They fish only with me and I take them not to “get extra limits” for myself but so that they can experience the same enjoyment that I do from fishing and from sometimes catching one.
Please explain. Why is it stupid? What’s your logic behind the response? Is seems to be a common thread on here that the “vast” majority on here do not catch 6 fish per year. Is the limit of 10 for a very small minority? I don’t know which was why I said that there must be some logic behind it that most of us don’t understand. If someone “needs” more than 6 they could just get their granny to get a license and tag along for a trip. Only helps if she would be willing to share her catch.
Because it will make zero difference in reducing the TAC we use. That’s why. Won’t be helpful at all.Please explain. Why is it stupid? What’s your logic behind the response?
