Halibut Broodstock Trips...

[Hunters Pa]

Heavy schedule both days at work.

I can't catch halibut anyway.

I'll go for the trip on the 21rst.

bump.
The mid-work week dates don't work for me and maybe most of us. Weekend Warrior here.
My questions if on a weekend would be (might help for others)...
What harbor/landing?
What duration of boat trip - 1/2 day, full day?

They should do a buy in jackpot to make things fun.

Get a weekend date and I'd be in...sounds fun.

I went on Lyall's bass tagging trip a few years back and that was good fun.

[PapaDave]

I'm on the Tuesday trip, yeah!

Same here. Weekend (or a Friday) and I'm 100% in. I just can't swing weekday trips until next summer.

Will Dana let any fish caught count toward the halibut derby? ;-) hah

5 dollar entry fee paid of course

I typed this message 4 times, and erased it 4 times. Trying not to come across as some cheap old crotchety geezer here...

What it boils down to is having volunteers who are most likely taking time off work and donating their time and effort with no other gain (like taking home by-catch), pay for the privilege of being there just seems off. They should at least have the opportunity to write off that 50 bucks as a donation.
Back when I was President of the San Diego Oceans Foundation we would obtain corporate grants to cover the cost of volunteers participating in efforts such as this.

I don't know - maybe I am getting old and crotchety...

Now get off my lawn!

I may be available next week. Not entirely sure just yet. It would also be a good excuse for me to go ahead and sign up for CCA.

Out of curiosity, do size limits apply when harvesting broodstock, or do you pretty much take what you find?

Personally, I'm going because I like to fish, and halibut is a target I would eventually like to catch more of. If this research pans out like it did with the WSB, then it'll be halibut on the dinner table, eventually.
