Oregon halibut ......

Maybe, just maybe our 2011 quota will not be so bad after all. But if we lay down our arms now then all the effort changing this unfair 88/12 mess was in vain. Keep up the pressure until this mess has been changed more fairly!
 
Canada's TAC is up a little -more details a little later once everything has been confirmed
 
So if this is the case here as well, (it's yet to be seen) and the fishery will support the 2/2 limit salvaging the season, would that mean the 88/12 allocation is still an issue? or that the volume of the fish stocks are the problem as I suggested in an earlier post?

If in fact there is a reprieve for all involved and that THIS YEAR fishing might return to normal, I would suggest we take the opportunity to truly get organized, united, and go back to DFO with a much stronger case for everyone involved. That includes, as our politicians say, the commercial fishermen, the commercial/Sport fishing industry, and the regular sports fishermen who have no financial gain by the outcome.

Before you rule this idea out as a pipe dream, remember this:

"The enemy of MY enemy, is my Friend"

At this point, the DFO and politicians are everyones enemy for not doing what they are paid to do. Protect, Promote, and Improve our Canadian fishing Resources. No matter what side of this debate you are on.
 
Just saw the post on the VISF site that the season won't open 'till the end of February. Sad news for everyone I'm sure. I guess the fishery in Oregon is healthier than up here. Again, Sad news. We need to get this fixed.
