Ya we fished Schaffer also
DZ --I fished for the portuguese Sporting club then =========it was fun & we sold //but like you said the rules changed----The other thing was that the fish had to be caught in RI waters /// Right //I knew of a guy that had a CUTTY captain charter for approx the whole week== talk about a mixed bag === he,d have fish from 3# to fish in the 40,s ..
My wife won the woman,s division /boat 40# caught up the bay // That made for a long winter .The next year i took the whole division with a 42+ /It was caught going east & Bob pureni was going west at Fisher,s Island that,s after the expanded the fishing area do to in fact that many were already fishing outside RI /we both hooked up at the same time & landed the fish 5 minutes apart /// we fished the rest of the -towed back home & then weighed in at Newport ////for some reason he didn,t weigh up until late that nite or the next morning // I won bt something like 11 oz.
