Halibut Broodstock Trips... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Guys this is a worthwhile program that is trying to make our fish stocks better.

Years ago I toured the Carlsbad hatchery and saw the various stages of the WSB grow process.

At the time they were just starting to experiment with halibut. They had a couple of shallow tanks of small halibut all laying on top of each other. Looked pretty cool.

Look at this trip as a $50 donation to make your future fishing better.

I can't go on this one since I am leaving for Baja the next day.

Ohhhh, now I get it. You are looking for fish to be used for spawning purposes. Got it.

Awesome idea. Possibly the best reason ever to catch and release. Unfortunately I have to work both of those days but this is a fantastic idea. Very cool.

Good luck to all that attend!

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.

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.
