State of Rhode Island - Department of Environmental Management
Scup (Shore and Private) 10"

May 1 - December 31


30 fish/person/day
Special Area Provisions: While fishing from shore at India Point Park in Providence, RI; Conimicut Park in Warwick, RI; or at Stone Bridge in Tiverton, RI; anglers may possess up to 30 scup 9 inches or greater in length from May 1, through December 31

Can someone explain the SCUP "Special Area Provisions"??? Are they simply lowering the size limits in the hottest poaching spots to curb them having to take action? Gotta be 10" under the Sakonnet bridge but not at the Stone Bridge??? No wonder Grinnells has been packed w/poac...errr people.

Thank God I like them pan-fried and not poached.

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
