Dateline – Alaska, Areas 2C & 3A – The usual group of Federal alphabet soup fisheries agencies once again issued devastating news about halibut fishing this year. NOAA, NMFS, IPHC teamed up to close the door on legally keeping halibut over 37-inches.
Sport Anglers should stand together and let all of these government agencies and politicians know how they feel about these new regulations. Call them, write them and e-mail them with your feelings about these ridiculous new halibut rules in Southeast Alaska!
