From distant memory of DFOs figures cited, we were at approx 900,000 lbs when they opened to 2 per day. But the bulk of the big northern lodges were as good as finished for their seasons by that time.
As for what we will need for 1 per day March 1 to October 31, it is only a guesstimate but I would offer around what we will catch this year in total (1,150,000 lbs). My rationale includes some increase in tourism due to the global economic stablization. The lodge and guide business stated in a survey they were down across the board by average 25% (some were way worse than that). Plus there are more right sized halibut showing up and more people fishing halibut as chinook numbers maybe leaner in 2010.
