A quote from your post...
"Additionally, there is a current agenda to allow the commercial fleet to fish during the customary spawning closure. Commercial lobbyists say they need this to compete with fish farms,"
Are you talking about the salmon commercial fleet and salmon fish farms?
That doesn't have anything to do with halibut.
The halibut fleet stops fishing from November 15th through late-Febuary/early-March.
Neither charters or commercial boats can fish in a certain area around Sitka. That's reserved for local use. So they are not contributing to a decline around here.
I disagree with charter IFQ's, but I want to completely understand what your saying here.
