lots of irony here...the rationale used when RI offered the second option is now gone......the will be no competitive disadvantage(unless RI goes 2 bass for hires) and the only way that boats will be fishing side by side under different regs is if RI goes with a mode split...pretty funny as RI was claiming it would be other states forcing us to go to "2" fish for for hires to avoid this
RI had the opportunity to attempt to influence neighboring states having voted first but had dragged out the final decision and now it's possible that neighboring states will be influencing the RI decision
RI Charters that are upset with RI anglers and other charters supporting 1@ all modes are now trying to figure out who to direct their anger at...RI 1@'s were largely ignored by the fisheries managers as the vote was very lopsided....RI Charters supporting mode splits now find themselves at odds with neighboring states who, they were pretty confident, would be supporting and enhancing their position
