Could we get some halibut fishermen to attend the January 6th halibut meeting at 10:00 AM in Montesano? This is a halibut meeting only and not a commission meeting. Opening up the straights for Halibut could be a great win for us. Hein, Partridge, Coyote, Eastern, 31-36, Rockpile, Admiralty, Dallas, and others are loaded with Halibut during Feb-April. We should attend and rally for this opener to take the halibut fishing pressure off of Neah Bay. Did you know there is a picture of a 300+# halibut on the wall that was caught and released on Admiralty? This would have been the new state record had the season been opened. I believe this fish equated to 312 pounds.
