Good thing they didn't move any of that quota up to the CR. I bet we wind up leaving fish on the table AGAIN.

It's pretty sad.
I really don't buy into the reasoning. The regulators are
hanging their hat on a false pretence.

I would like to see a Fishery Graduate do a study on the home addresses of charter boat customers on the Oregon and Washington Coasts . I would imagine that the number of out of state customers fishing Depoe and Newport and Ilwaco and the Oregon side of the Columbia River are pretty much an even % in all ports. So if the regulators are cow towing down to the Charter Offices wishes to prolong their "own"
interests, sure nobodys going to agree to give quotas away to the C.R. area.
But someone needs to explain why a Oregon resident fishing on a Ilwaco Charter Boat is not just as entitled to catch a halibut as that same customer fishing on a Newport Charter Boat. Is a guy from Ohio and his Kid,
who is spending the weekend at cousin Floyds place in Longview not just as entitled to catch a Halibut on Gene Kanes Charterboat in Warrenton.

We are all sportsman.
I don't have a problem with the spring derby fishery that you guys embrace on the Central Oregon Coast. I don't think it's fair that you also have a 20,000lb <40 fathom 24/7 season but I think the summer fishery of another 60,000lbs and the possibilty of going to 2 fish is really blatantly unfair. Concidering most C.R. sports and charter boats
can't load up the boats on trailers and fish the area.

I think it's all greed on the Charter offices if you ask me.

Popeye…I knew it was true. I just didn’t know what to say because the news had been out for almost a week. I was just being a smart-aleck :tongue:. Thanks for the report earlybird.

Pete,

The ODFW fish checker I spoke w/ on Sunday said that they wouldn't know "for sure" if we would be able to fish all three days until early this week. They were thinking about having only Fri. and Sat. open. Earlybirds post was the first confirmation I have seen on this

I hope this clears up what some of us were hearing
