Southeast charter anglers' limit is 1 halibut
(Published May 07, 2009)
JUNEAU, Alaska — Federal fisheries managers have cut the halibut catch for charter vessel anglers in Southeast by half.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries Service has reduced the daily catch from one to two.
Acting Regional Administrator Doug Mecum says in a statement that the agency believes the long term solution to sustainably managing the fishery is for the charter halibut fleet to join with the commercial halibut fishery in a catch share program.
The new rule takes effect June 5. As part of the changes, a charter vessel angler may use only fishing line, and no more than a total of six lines are allowed on a vessel fishing for halibut.
Operators, guides and crew are prohibited from catching and retaining halibut during charter trips.
