Thanks for your comment fish4all and yes I do see a pattern and I am pointing it out to others.
I have been reading the reports from IPHC and I know that we have lot's of Halibut in the water.
Problem is they are small and if we keep whacking them, then we may be in trouble.
This may take many years to happen but i don't know.
Is it our fault (you, me and FN)? Well it's everyone's fault and problem.
I read a report that compares fishing management around the world.
Canada finished almost dead last..... We are a "big talk no action" player in the world.
We need change from DFO, not speeches and web site articles.
Our science never seems to be put into action.
Our policy is opposite to what we do.
The "precautionary principal" is being superseded by a "section 35".
Kind of "do no harm" to "do harm but make up for it".
Problem with that is it doesn't work very well.
Fish4all we do have common concerns not just with Halibut, and value your thoughts.
I may not agree and I may argue but that doesn't mean I don't want to hear them.
