Enforcing the RI licensing laws on out of state boats shouldn't be too tough. The officers can just print out a listing of out of state boats that have licenses before they go out. Then they'll know which ones to stop.
Also, they need to do something about people fishing for bass in the EEZ! Go out to the sub buoy or SW ledge any day and look at all the boats fishing in the EEZ for stripers!
plus they could do both with one patrol out there.
