New Halibut Quota April 1 2013

[Mr. Dean]

Spin words any way you would like Mr.Dean and Whonnabe Boy. Recreational fishery should have priority.

How do you get "spun" out of a truthful statement?


If this goes the way of what some are hoping for, it WILL be the lodge operations that control the fishery.
After all, it will be them holding the tickets for the trophies AND a reasonable limit.

Once again, folks, PLEASE support the BCWF with a $$$ donation toward the Malcolm Case - We shouldn't have to fight among ourselves to go catch a damned fish!

Do you think for a second if the Natives were told they couldn't fish, they would roll over like this???

Agreed, so its pretty sad when the group representing us (SFAB) did. Not all but enough to make it happen

Natives own a substantial amount of quota now and are buying more with a government sponsored buyback . They will be fishing and thats who you will be fighting by donating to the BCWF . You just haven't figured out who your enemy is .

i do not understand this whole scenario... canadian taxpayers money bought the natives their halibut quota(and are still buying it through PICVI) plus get food quota given to them but our govt cant buy it back from quota holders to re-allocate to the sports sector? we have to spend money on a court cases to get it back. hmmmm. we need new politicians perhaps.

Please elaborate - I'm all ears.

Mr. Dean you can read my post on page 8 , IMHO the problem is with the commercial sport operations .

Good idea. It's time local anglers in all regions that have SFAC meetings start to hold their representatives accountable.

The "fake" anglers will be making their B.S. statement no doubt about how assisted Canadian anglers shoul be able to rob us from our season and our annual harvest. The preferred "lodge" season does not benefit anglers who want to take a halibut when it suits them.

It's time to take a stand.

It's unfortunate that you have taken this stance 4incher, and others as well. We could be in this fight together, instead you choose to be greedy, yes greedy. 6 halibut is not enough for you, 5 months of halibut fishing is not enough for you, and 60 pounders are not big enough for you. Instead of being pissed off at the government, you are taking it out on those who are fighting with/for you. Throwing your fellow fishermen under the bus is quite sad really.
