Amalga Opening


HEY SEINERS, REMINDERS ABOUT AMALGA

DON’T anchor in the SHA area until they have finished with cost recovery for the week. DIPAC is done until after the fishery on the July 5th, but will be conducting cost recovery again afterwards. So each week you need to make sure they are done for the week before anchoring in the area.

DON’T leave your skiff unattended at the launch ramp.

DO be respectful of recreational users and residents of the area – Some key points; turn off the crab lights; don’t blast loud music at all hours. This area is basically people’s front yard, please be considerate.

DO dispose of garbage and oil in appropriate receptacles. If there is no room, please offload to the tender or dispose once there is room.

THE HOURS AND AREA OPEN HAVE BEEN EXTENDED. FISHING TIME  IS 9AM TIL 6PM. THE FULL AREA BELOW, INCLUDING EAGLE HARBOR WILL BE OPEN
