You can look for a job right on their website. It'd be cool to have a dem cop that fishes

Good luck bro!

If you want to be a squirrel cop in RI - then you'd better be wired in politically. Being qualified professionally and passionate about the outdoors and the protection of our resources are not among the prerequisites.

Yea Vic, Id be the coolest DEM cop. Like the movie Super Troopers...

- Do you know why we really pulled you over?
- Fishing and ..fishing and ?
- Fishing and..
- Fishing and.. Fishing and.. smokin the reefer!..now we're gonna make you boys smoke this whole bag right now!

Yeah Joe, I know...It was more or less of a rant anyway. I image it would be a nice job though cruising the shore & woods for a living. But, yer right in this state you need connections to get jobs like that..I know one guy who is paid a very nice salary by DEM to set the fish traps we all love. I want his job...But if they ever saw my face (under the motorcycle helmet) they would never hire me! Ive been chased outta the desert & woods atleast 10 times, this year alone by those guys. I know I am way up there on the RI DEM hit list for dirtbiking in RI hot spots.

They cant catch me.....

But back to my real reason I started this thread...

Does anyone know if all these bass that are illegally taken are accounted for in the total amount/pounds of bass taken for year. As far as quotas ect..There cant possibly be a way to approximate the total losses due to all the bass poaching.

The guys who take shorts & or illegally sell thousands of pounds commercially are the Striped Bass Evil Do-ers..
