Season in RI opens May 1 I think, 3 fish/person/day, switches to 10fishpd in OCtober... I dont fish them in the spring, I get em in deep water in the fall 90+ ft from a boat... deeper = bigger in the fall, but they are shallow in the spring when they are spawning (the other reason I dont get em in the spring/summer would rather let em reproduce)
Great eating, and great fighting, over all my favorite fish to catch...
Anyone who says blackfish cant tussle has never caught one in the double digit range.. they may not stip yards and yards of line, but in 100ft of water, a 12 or 14lb tog can PULL
