2009 reg changes

Just saw this on the ADF&G site, http://www.sf.adfg.state.ak.us/statewide/eonr/nr.cfm?id=1040 threw us a bone and gave us 1 more ling which must be over 55". Probably more changes to come in the coming months.

Re: 2009 reg changes

If I'm reading this right,
********************************************************
" In years when the AI is less than or equal to 1.1, the annual harvest limits for nonresident anglers will be as follows:
From May 1 through June 30, a nonresident’s annual limit is three king salmon 28 inches or greater in length, and any king salmon 28 inches or greater harvested by the nonresident between January 1 and April 30 will apply toward the three fish annual harvest limit; and,
From July 1 through December 31, a nonresident’s annual limit is one king salmon 28 inches or greater in length, and any king salmon 28 inches or greater harvested by the nonresident between January 1 and June 30 will apply toward the one fish annual harvest limit."
************************************************************

Worst case scenario we will still be able to retain 1 king a year over 28" after 7/1 which is alot better then what we dealt with last year

Re: 2009 reg changes

After a few years of only keeping slot limit fish, there are some dandies around.

Re: 2009 reg changes

There's a pretty scary issue on the possible horizon. Deals with Demersal Shelf Rockfish and shutting down the whole outside, to ALL fishing, if controlled harvest levels aren't maintained.

Re: 2009 reg changes

Closed to "ALL" fishing sport and commercial or just closed to all sportfishing?
This would be a huge financial hit to the state to shut down commercial fishing throughout all S.E. outside waters, I don't see that happening, especially if this is coming from the state level not fed.

Re: 2009 reg changes

All sportfishing, not commercial. The commercial sector has remained within their harvest limits, while the sport/charter has been coming close to going over. Presently, the harvest limit of Demersal Shelf Rockfish is divided 15% to sport/charter and 85% to commercial. At this past Board of Fisheries meetings, there was a proposal for a re-division of rockfish allocation. 25% for sport/ charter and 75% for commercial. This was shot down. From what I've been told, there was discussion about if the present allocations were met, there may be a need to protect this fishery by shutting down fishing on the "outside". That means for all species. This is an issue SEAGO (Southeast Alaska Guides Organization) has voiced as a possible problem.

Attached is a link to SEGO and some of the proposals that were acted on at the above meetings.
