RI Marine Fishery Violations
 

Always interesting to see who has been poaching. Heard through the grapevine about striped bass violations this past summer. Latest RISAA newsletter reveals the names - one a "former" member of our fishing club. Happens too often. Page 11

what do you expect
 

Dennis what do you expect the penalties are not tough enough to prevent the criminals from stealing. Until such violations are seen in a harsher light they will continue. Think of how many fish were taken illegally at the canal this year. It wont stop until there is more and enforcement and harsher consequences. I wont hold my breath.

Marine regs do nothing but keep honest people honest. nothing more.

couple repeat offenders on that list too...... some true American patriots there

What's this?

"Boating Safety Certificate Required- 1st Offense"

A new rule but it only applies to people with their profile pic sideways

it's hard to keep track of how many fish you have

Some have issues with odd numbers like 1

I'd better stay out of RI

Oh man.

The time to toughen the penalties is long overdue.
Confiscate all gear and auction it off.
Happens to the big time drug dealers, why not the poachers.
Guaranteed to put a dent in poaching.
