Barely any draggers in SNE will be working cod this year... No quota. Each year for the past three I've heard of more (and larger) cod caught by people blackfishing, right off newport.
While the rec guys do a significant toll on the stock, there are a LOT of fish down there. I'd be willing to bet that you could catch cod from the RI beaches this year. The lack of commercial pressure is going to cause them to bounce back, big time.
