That appears they are still not putting an annual limit on them? That would be disappointing to me...I think that is a very fair restriction to work with. The 2 possession limit will hurt the Renfrew by the book guide types somewhat as that should wipe out most multi-day bookings, but I'm sure there will be people in general that break the rules and ship out their daily catches. Will be up to the guides to do the right thing and restrict that it seems. I'm not sure as I've only ever done the one day, but I assume multi days have found their way around this anyway and traditionally ended up bringing back 6 for a 3 day trip...pretty hard to go to Renfrew and not get your 2 a day.
I could be wrong...just my assumption.

I don't understand how these limit reductions are good.
- 1st off they're NOT about conservation. Therefore, NOT needed.
I find it embarrassing. All that was needed was a weekend of dedication and the willingness to think with a clear and open mind. Other than an internet connection, knowing how to read would have been the ONLY other requirement.
In your opinions, how many Halibut do we need to have swimming around, before we can go back to keeping three lowsy fish???

Deewar25,

I cant seem to find a regulation on it...
Thanks.

No, doesn't specifically outline that...I suppose its an ethical loophole to get around the limit...its INTENDED to be the limit of fish during one complete trip - whether it be 1 day, 2 days, 2 weeks - that legally is all you are allowed to bring back. If you are shipping back daily, you are cheating the system and the rest of us IMH

Not sure what this means but I don't think it was nice
Can someone tell me if I understand this correctly?
-TAC was cut down therefore effecting commercial and sporties.
-12% is allocated to sporties and 88% to commercial. This has not changed.
-The DFO figure sporties are catching over their 12% so these regulations have been put in play to keep us in our 12%. (not for concervation reasons)
In short is this all about keeping us in our 12%?
Just want to know if I understand the reasoning. Not saying I agree or disagree.
These questions are open to opinions:
If this in the DFO's eyes brings our catch to below 12% will they make ammendments next year and increase the limits? You would hope.
Or will they decide that we only reached 8% so give another 4% to commercial and so on...
If they think ahead and put a 10 hali annual limmit would this keep us in our 12% and therefore make the daily limit cut back unneccessary?

Write down what it costs and include EVERY thing you spend down to a pack of tooth picks you will be surprised at how much money you accually spend.

I'm not reading too many posts from guys that are not relatively informed - seems differences of opinions, which is welcome.
The conservation issue has been hammered, but when did we define conservation only as protecting stocks that are in trouble? Oh ya, twenty years ago when we still had a shot to conserve and protect the salmon stocks. Maybe we can conserve in May so we can still fish within the quota in August.
In your opinion, how many hali's do we need laying in our freezer? I'd vote 5 per year max, any more than that and you'd have to be selling them to get through them - it's very unlikely that I would take more than 2 -3.
So if a fisher doesn't get out until August, the quota has been reached and the fishery shut down (and this is a possibility), where is the fairness for all in that? Where are my fish?
Would you guys vote for a short season (say 2 months) in exchange of the daily and possession limits? Nor would I. I believe these regs extend the season for all. Lets go after the quota.

the commercial guys got cut back a little over 2 million pounds. If the rec sector does not catch their "quota" it isn't given to the commercial boats to catch. It's carried over and can be sold by the SFAB to the commercial guys- just like it was for 2 consecutive years a couple of years ago.quote:the commercial sector didnt get touched
