Ok here's the SCOOP, The International Pacific Halibut Commission will ser the allowable catch for Area 2A next week at their annual meeting. The IPHC staff is recommending the same allowable catch as in 2003. Once the catch has been set, the open season dates for Oregon's all-depth recreational fishery between Cape Falcon and Humbug Mountain can be finalized.
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will be holding a public meeting to hear comments regarding:
1. The number and dates of fixed open dates during the Spring (May only) all-depth season
2. Back -up dates for the above Spring (May-July) fishery in case quota remains after the fixed dates.
3. Scheduled dates for the Summer (August-October) all-depth season.
The meeting will be held:
