Hi guys, this topic sort of spawned out of some posts that we had on halibut allocation, where Searun mentioned he supported a guide license, partnered with the C license, I said that they could solve a lot of issues potentially, but may be controversial. DHA added to it asking what direction DFO is headed with this, and lets start a new thread, so we did and here's my last post...
DHA, from what I know the Department doesn't have a direction, or if it does the minions like myself that work on the island don't know about it yet. If people think that discussing this at a meeting/meetings with the guides associations would be better than doing it here on the forum lets do that. We could talk about this through your local SFAC (Sport Fishing Advisory Committee) meetings too, which will be coming up in the fall. There's 10 committees on the South Coast that I will be meeting with Sept-Nov. I think its a conversation worth having.
I always want to hear what you guys in the industry think especially with topics like this because people in DFO think about them, and when I talk with other people in the department, who don't have the background in recreational fisheries that I do, it keeps things in perspective (for everybody).
