June Halibut????

Sensei-san · 05-20-2002, 06:55 PM

Been hearing rumours of a June halibut opener. The rumour I heard was June 7-8 and June 21-22. As a lot of the bars were closed this weekend (not the Tipple Inn) and May 11 was pretty much a blowout, it seems that we will not meet the 171,000 pound quota of halibut. I called the IPHC and they said that no decision has been made but gave me a hotline number to call later this week. It is 800-662-9825. I haven't called it yet but Oregon is in the 2A area and most of the coast is in the Cape Falcon to Humburg Mtn. zone.

Good info, sensei, thanks...

Can't do the first dates, but the second set sounds good.

I was just told by a friend in the know that the JUNE 7-8 all waters halibut days are official. So THREEMUCH and PILAR had better get their boats ready. I can see it now.... VARROOM>>>
