I'll lay this out by month too so guys can see it clearer. These are the exact amounts we caught by month according to 2012 and 2013 DFO data. This is definitely something I could live with and according to the numbers 70lbs would even work.
These are pounds taken with 1/2 with one 83cm shoulder, 1/2 with 126max and 83cm max July/Aug or 133cm max July/Aug
March.....13,109lbs
April.......23,355lbs
May........34,458lbs
June.......194,300lbs
July........284,171lbs (1/2 with 126cm max) ..................314,171lbs (1/2 with 133cm max)
August....281,499lbs (1/2 with 126cm max)...................311,499lbs (1/2 with 133cm max)
Sept........53,701lbs
Oct-Dec....2,559lbs
Total...887,152lbs................................................947,152lbs
+ 5% biorisk..44,357lbs...............................................47,357lbs
Total w/...931,509lbs..........................................994,509lbs
Safety Net
The key here is this is WHAT we actually caught in 2012 and 2013 using these two methods. This really does reduce risk drastically due to this fact. No one can say well lodges and guides will take big ones and screw us either as they could in 2012 as well. This is pretty solid to be honest. Could get full season with the 70lb even as it would have approx 50,000-70,000lbs of cushion depending on exact amount we get. That's a nice cushion of safety.
Let's hope SFAB does consider this, some of you are on the board and curious of your thoughts.
