Meeting to discuss halibut season options
NEWPORT - Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife officials today announced a Jan. 25 meeting in Newport to discuss the 2006 Pacific halibut sport season.
The public meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Embarcadero, 1000 SE Bay Blvd. The 2007-2008 groundfish sport fishery also will be discussed at the meeting.
Don Bodenmiller, ODFW halibut project leader, will present quotas and possible open season dates for Oregon's all-depth sport fishery between Cape Falcon and Humbug Mountain. The catch-sharing plan for the 2006 fishery also will be on the agenda.
ODFW will hear comments regarding the number and dates of fixed open days during the spring (May to July) all-depth season on the central Oregon coast, and backup dates for the spring fishery in case quota remains after the fixed dates.
