Halibut Fishing 2013

[Kisinana]

If the fisheries Notice FN0774 says Hali fishing is closed for the balance of the year, does this not mean it does not open until April 1 unless a new notice comes out?
Reason I ask is I see postings on the south island talking about the March 1 openning.
Yet I can find no information or Fisheries Notice to support this.

^^^ prett much. March 1st talk is wishful thinking as no one knows forsure when it will open yet.

Except maybe the master of quillback.
