Meeting to discuss halibut season options

NEWPORT - Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife officials today
announced a Jan. 25 meeting in Newport to discuss the 2006 Pacific
halibut sport season. 

The public meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Embarcadero, 1000 SE Bay
Blvd. The 2007-2008 groundfish sport fishery also will be discussed at
the meeting.

Don Bodenmiller, ODFW halibut project leader, will present quotas and
possible open season dates for Oregon's all-depth sport fishery between
Cape Falcon and Humbug Mountain. The catch-sharing plan for the 2006
fishery also will be on the agenda.

ODFW will hear comments regarding the number and dates of fixed open
days during the spring (May to July) all-depth season on the central
Oregon coast, and backup dates for the spring fishery in case quota
remains after the fixed dates.

Gway Kirchner, ODFW groundfish supervisor, will discuss the sport
groundfish season outlook for the coming 2007-2008 biennium. 

Questions and comments can be provided without attending the meeting by
