to follow BBC,s post ...I had to go to Oakland Beach last Friday evening ..so I took a ride to the to the Boat ramp .I was driving away when I saw a pile of fins .
i stopped & went over to it .it was 8 racks of bass .[only] one was legal the other 7 were [I,m guessing] under 5# or under ......... they didn,t even care enough to hide them or fillet them before they came in .
i called DEM , I knew it was a waste of time but @ least they were told ......I was talking to a friend who was In Pawt . Saturday & he decided to stop @ the [wall] & there were many guys taking every fish they caught which were plenty ...He didn,t bother to call the DEM because he,s been a fighter for the bass for years .....But now In his words .he really doesn, give a F uck .. the state & federal goverment don,t ..he now puts all his effert & enjoyment into F/W .
All I ever hear is the commercial guy this & the commercial guy that ...........Black market . etc ............If there was a way to know for sure . I,d be willing to bet the so called rec . brakes the law & kills more bass than all the legal & illgal ing fishing by commercial guys &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& the black market is [NOT} made up of ALL commercial fisherman .............. many illegal markets are not even suppied by 1% of commercial fisherman ><> No Halo,s here ............But I also havn,t even taken the boat out looking for bass in 2016 .....I will fish the short commercial season in RI for bass & then I won,t fish for them again in 2016 ><>
