As far as licensces go, get a little burned that where we were the past week, majority of boats are from RI. Why is it that RI and CT residents are allowed to come and fish and take my regulated fishery where as I can't go and commercially take theirs?

Gas prices are definately having a BIG impact on pretty much everybodies budget and gameplan. Not only that but so many guys out there having fuel/ engine problems from the "improved" more expensive gas.

From what I gather being primarily a surf guy and from talking with tuna and cod guys, the fish are just staying off shore in the EEZ zones (Stellwagon) until they get the memo that it is safe to return to near shore waters because the seals have all been disposed of.

I am junk.
