RI permit is a total waste of good money. You have about 3 or 4 miles of beach to run and most, if not all of it, is non-productive water.
You can walk to 99% of the productive fishing spots.
Just my opinion, but I stopped getting the permit 10 years ago.

No boat, back in the suds.

Agreed. Stopped getting one after two years of having one. SoCo beaches are nice, but I'd rather be a half mile out off of them If I want numbers of fish. It's nice to take the family for a spin out there, I just don't see the value in one for fishing's sake.

I would say the pass is better than that - especially when taking the family out for a spin

When I lived in RI, I used to surf at Green Hill a lot. There's no gate to the beach and I used to notice tire tracks in the sand in the fall. I'm guessing this was guys fishing. Is it legal to bring a truck on the beach down there?
