Hood Canal sport shrimp season extended two days, May 29 and May 31 - FishNews - 05-29-2008 Action: Sufficient quota remains in Hood Canal to extend the shrimp season two days between the hours of 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on May 29 and May 31. <br>Effective dates: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday, May 29 and Saturday, May 31, 2008.<br> <br>Species affected: All shrimp.<br> <br>Location: All waters of the Hood Canal (Marine Area 12).<br> <br>Reason for action: Sufficient quota remains in Hood Canal to warrant extending the shrimp season for one Saturday and one weekday.<br> <br>Other information: The Hood Canal shrimp district will be reopened to recreational fishing for a seventh and eighth day because sufficient quota remains to warrant a two-day opener. A general reduction in overall effort contributed to a lower harvest of spot shrimp in the canal than expected. Note that the weekday fishery is scheduled on a Thursday, instead of Wednesday, to avoid conflicts with other user groups in the Canal.<br> <br>Contact: Therese Cain, Point Whitney, (360) 796-4601 ext. 210 or Mark O'Toole, LaConner, (360) 466-4345 ext. 241. |
