The 18th Annual Just for the Halibut Derby

Wouldn't it be nice as this is on shoulder season (wink wink, nudge, nudge to shoulder option :p ) to get back to the old derby ways instead of "closest to slot limit" which is so dumb. Should it be like a few years back I'll be participating.
 
You are going to be waiting for the halibut biomass to increase and along with it Canada's TAC. The size won't go up until the TAC does.
 
That's actually not true pro fisher. Left 145,000lbs in the water this year. Look at the numbers and do some math, unless amount of halibut taken shoulder season went up over 50% ( ha ha ha, completely unrealistic) then shoulder option with 80lb maximum size limit in the high months would even work and leave a few thousand in the water. Stop saying things with nothing to back it up please. Looking at numbers from 2012 taken monthly and then even adding 10-15% (so no max size one fish shoulder plus increased pressure) with an 80lb slot in high season leaves tens of thousands of pounds in the water.
 
Does any of the money go towards fish conservation of any kind or other?

I'm new to this derby and having a hard time finding info besides when it is happening.

Do all fish have to go downtown to get weighed?

Cheers
