I'm sure there is a person or two who catches fish in RI and trucks them to mass to sell (obviously illegal), but the idea that anyone with a mass commercial license pays to charter a RI boat to bring fish back to sell is absolutely ludicrous.

Why is it ludicrous? Even if they aren't making much money at it its going to pay for the trip and who wouldn't want to be able to go fishing for free? What's the commercial value of 300+ pounds of bass compared to the price of a charter?
A complaint I hear often is that most "commercial" fisherman aren't really making a living at it they just use it to pay for boat, slip, gas etc... No difference with this scenario and whether you want to believe it or not it happens.

If you sell fish, then you are a commercial fisherman. There is no grey area or income percentage requirement.
You either are, or you are not.

Thinking it is 1 or 2 is absolutely ludicrous... check the state tags of the trucks at Great Island bridge when Comm season is open in MA... |

Or they blast over from Westport.
Some block island charter boats witnessed some guys who were pretty much living on their boat on block island and were fishing SW ledge every day that the mass comm season was open and had a runner boat come and pick up their mass limit and sell it in mass. Poaching to the extreme.

This validates my point of the EPA putting a boat out there.

The RISAA survey results were in favor of 1fish, and they have sent a letter reversing their position

I think it is more of a learning thing for Striper charters the customers have been able to keep fish in the past so why not now. That said I go bear hunting to New Foundland pay $2300.00 don't get a bear but still a great trip. Go to Maine for moose $5600. No guarantee of a moose but a great trip all around. So a Striper charter for $1200.00 with lots of fish caught but none or one for table sounds great also. It's all in how it's packaged as an experience. I own a $50,000.00 boat to go fishing for 3 tautog,1 Striper, and a few fluke,if it was about the eating of the fish I would say I am nuts. :-).
Just another way of looking at it.

Maybe already mentioned, but think of a state like florida. Tarpon are a no kill fish and that doesn't stop people like myself from visiting and booking fishing charters. Hell, you're not even allowed to take the damned things out of the water! Granted, they have no food value, but people obviously don't care about taking somethin back with them. There is no reason to believe that keeping only one fish per person will harm the striper charter industry. I worked on a charter boat for years, and to be honest the customers would almost always exchange puzzled glances at the dock, wondering who would take the last few fillets home. Killing a bass is every angler's right, but killing your limit because you can is a waste, and I think it's important to educate people on the value of catch and release.
