Jerry Lewis lives!!!

Actually, the cheat sheet provided included the following:

"The ongoing intertribal halibut sharing discussions and a lack of a cohesive, planned tribal halibut fishery seemed to affect the recreational fishery more than ever this year. As the tribes could not reach an agreement on an intertribal sharing plan or season dates, the federal court imposed season requirements in an effort to equitably share the harvest opportunity amongst the tribes, which included weather considerations. As such, when there was a good weather window, the tribal fishery would open with very short notice and, oftentimes, the opener would be one or two days before the next scheduled recreational opener. It is difficult to quantify the effect this had on the recreational fishery CPUE, there likely was some effect on the halibut grounds as it can take time for new fish to move in."

Maybe the State should have been in on that federal action to remind the courts of impacts on State fisheries.

One other thing for now. The three options up for consideration include:

1. Status Quo Allocation
2. Shared Allocation (apparent Staff favorite)
3. Shared Allocation with incidental sablefish.

The No. 3 involved giving the sable fish industry 20K pounds of fixed bycatch leaving 50K to the recs (70-20=50).
