RI Striped Bass Meeting

[BasicPatrick]

Words leaking from behind the curtain is that in RI there is a heavyweight recreational fight going on with RISAA (1@ 28 for all) on one side and the RI Party Charter Association (2 fish for Party.Charter). RI Residents should flood all of these meetings until they keep RI at 1 @ 28" for all.

Correct Patrick - RI could be very key in this debate. RI territorial waters within 3 miles of Block holds some of the last remaining consistent fishing for large striped bass. If RI stays at one fish it will force some of the other states like NY/Ct who may have a two fish bag into a single fish in possession per person if fishing within 3 miles of Block. This will help protect this body of bass but will become an enforcement nightmare.
