If you want to use up more take then just market halibut fishing more. A whole bunch of Facebook pics during the season, advertising that you can pay for a charter with halibut meat should do the trick.

I was being sarcastic, the last time I seen that kind of stuff all over social media was 2017. My point is that tac can be used up very fast if 1. Fishing is good and 2. Everyone wants to go out.
That makes it tuff to predict. I’m fine with an early ending to a season or trying to bump up the max size.
Its not supposed to be easy to optimize a resource. I’m not saying make it so it’s 0 left. But do a lot better than 140k, 250k 90k. 70k etc than has been done in the past. Leave the regs the same and see 100+k left over ...who does that really hurt the most?
I don’t get the need for it to be 126 or 133. Nothing in between. Adjust it 3cm then. Optimize it. Jesus Christ.
Also I know many sfac groups this fall voted for a shortened season if it meant larger fish. Know the two I go to did anyway.
Can anyone explain why there can’t be a carryover of untaught TAC? Apologies if this has already been covered. I’m not quite sure why or if it also happens to commercial TAC.
The GFSFWG meeting is this week the day before the main board meeting.. I can say that it will be look at & we'll see what the modeling looks like.... We should know what the recommendations for what 2020 season looks like on Thursday then it will need to be voted on Friday by the main board for final approval..

No one has time to work on Dave? The focus is shifting on to salmon. Go read the IMFP for salmon that is a way bigger priority IMHO. I say we roll regulations the same as this year, and move on. We don't have the resources right now everyone needs to focus on salmon.
The comments are fair, but I don't think it is priority right now all I am saying. Rather see our resources trying to keep our salmon season open.
anyone think we would catch 1300 MORE fish between 126-130cm in 2020 to make up that 70k plus however much more due to the weather savings?
I’m sure there is some that would like to see a size increase for the 2 fish option as well. Not just the 1 fish option
