Rhode Island is a very small market with a very long winter. The season here is significantly shorter than in Jersey and the largest fishing demographic is the subsistence fishermen.
Most of the Rhode Island money is in the summer people - the Rhody natives still work at the fish stick factory for $8 an hour.
The bread and butter of a lot of Rhody shops is the tog and scup fishermen from Lowell. Its just now happening that more affluent people are becoming interested in fishing.
I do very little in Rhode Island sales...
