Hood Canal sport shrimp season
extended one day, May 23
Action: Sufficient quota remains in Hood Canal to extend the shrimp season one day between the hours of 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on May 23, 2007.
Effective date: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, May 23, 2007.
Species affected: All shrimp.
Location: All waters of the Hood Canal (Marine Area 12).
Reason for action: Sufficient quota remains in Hood Canal to warrant extending the shrimp season for one weekday.
Other information: The Hood Canal shrimp district will reopen to recreational fishing for a fifth day because sufficient quota remains to warrant a one-day opener. A very low tide and a general reduction in overall effort, contributed to a lower harvest of spot shrimp in the canal than expected on May 16. There is insufficient quota remaining to warrant opening Hood Canal on a Saturday, which generates greater effort than a mid-week opening does.
