It costs less for a non-resident commercial license, with the striped bass endorsement, than it does for a non-resident recreational shellfish license in my town

There's a better chance of getting hit by lightning than there is of getting caught. A boat with 30 bass has to be caught in RI waters by their DEM, or it has to be seen crossing into Mass waters by our EPOs with a load of fish. Once they're in Mass waters on an open day, they're untouchable.

RI angler fishing Mass waters. A great fisherman who has won the Schaefer Cup. He had not had a 50# in nine years and then got 4 in one morning.

Good for him.
Good for his family.
Bad for the fishery.
Bad for us.
Bad for the MA commercials.
Probably bad for BI. Taxes are high in Massachusetts.
So it goes.

Not for nuttin, there are a lot of RI commercials fishing Mass waters and this has been historically the case. As current regs/allocations are based on "historic" landings, and "historically" a fair amount of RI anglers have always fished Mass commercial (believe it or not in Mass waters), it is not unreasonable to see RI anglers fish the Mass season.

ya think? I don't understand the logic in this ruling. They can fish in our season but we can't sell into there's? MA DMF is F'ed up.

If you saw how much RI bunker is dumped into Gay Head waters you would be amazed...truck loads....every comm day.
