how are you gonna get 25% of income in RI /when the spring quota is 4 fish per license & the fall is 3 fish // typical RI style // They cut the spring season super short /& the one on Labor day weekend they cut after only 5 days / & that weekend had 3 days /just about unfishable ;;;; now they can,t fill the quota // is it added on to next years / or is the quota cut because it wasn,t reached ...
But go figure =herring are in trouble / Mass, RI &Conn / banned the take of them /// yet the inshore trawlers do a number on them in N,D & J ;;;
The striper is already in trouble ;;;
in RI the trap size is considerably less that the R & R //
&&&&&& Gods not even sure of the Bycatch kill ;;;
what,s Marylands size limit /// it was 12" when the rest of the coast was 16"
If th law states you can keep two 28" fish or you can sell so many when ------ & how its a law & I don,t have a problem with it ;; It would be nice if we all on the same playing field ;;;
there is talk of a scup & summer Flounder Cutback for 2007 ===who will benefit from that ??????????
My biggest beef is the continuing on people talking shorts to eat & [or] sell ;;;;
DEM is sooooooooooo f$%^&*( cut in RI now // its just about simple to break any law & get away with it //
I can count on two hand how many times I,ve seen the dem aroung this year & on [no] hands the times that they were actually engaged in some kind of work // besides bodie,s searches & boating accidents ..
Fifteen years ago I would see them on a daily basis on the water & agian the same day at the S/F dealers ;; I havn,t been checked in the last 15 years ;;;
they could even the yearly budget /just by fining those that go over the 10 ten fish limit on blues [[ its kinda ok]] cuz I hate them ///
how about the crews that line up all over the place , men ,woman & kids / taking everysingle thing that swims // BUT at least they waste nothing ====== they could even go broke paying fines for littering ....
its a losing battle ;;
think about this ;; WHAT Happened
frost fish at nite with a flashlifht & spear
Tom cod // still being caught /but noway like they were ;;
White perch // XL & jumbo,s by the tote / now ya lucky if ya catch one ;;
winter flounder by the buckets
Baloonfish fish /// I Ve seen you in a lobster tank a few years ago // use to catch them regularly /while Bottom fishing ;;
GIant B/F tuna = use tobe catch within sight on RI,s S/C beaches & off beavertail ----- now C/C or a small window approx 75-100 miles offshore ;;;;;
the s hits deeper than thet realize ><><><
