MM,
Thanks! I would be willing to weigh in the fish at the shop but depending on the weather it could be a ugly 40 mile run which I would like to minimize the number of times I made it.

Sandy,
According to the rule makers, you have to leave from a RI port but you don't have to return to RI. You still have to weigh the fish at a RI weigh station. So you can leave from RI return to MA and drive the fish (by car) to the weigh station.

Excellent. I may just do this if I can free up that weekend. That would save me a long run back and forth if it is nasty. I may wait to the last minute to check the weather and see how I do the week prior.
I keep a car on the mainland and could run the fish back pronto if I had a big one. It is still a pain to run 40 miles each way just to fish in my own back yard. We need to get Noreast in MA.

Looks like Charleston RI is the furthest east shop? (capt Don's Marina)

Sandy,
as of the moment the furthest east weigh station is Wilwood outfitters in Wakefield. But I think they are trying to line up a shop in or around Newport. I'll let you know if they get someone on the east side of the bay.
