FYI ;
2 weeks ago a local well known striper fisherman was setup by the RI DEM . he pulled in to the launch ramp @ PJ in the daylight with 20 bass / the DEM waited until he had pulled his boat & had strapped it to the trailer . they then slooped town , confiscated the fish,boat, truck, & he got a ride with handcuffs on .
Last week / after a couple of days of warning . the DEM raided a bunch of commercial steamer diggers for being over the line . they had it setup / cuz back At the boatramp they had trucks with trailers waiting . they arrested a few commercial diggers/divers & also some rec.
the boats where ordered to follow the state boat to the ramp / where everything was confiscated . they go to court this Monday & if they plead quilty they pay a fine & hope they don,t lose their licenses & get their rigs back ;
Some are talking about fighting it , There is a gray area on the issue of the line >>>>>>>> but ><been there & done that .too expensive to fight city hall .
it didn,t stop there . The DEM actually took video of the boats that were there . so even thro some screwed ./ that use to work for us ::
During the week they went to marina ,s based on the registeration of the boats & took & charged a few more ;
Now they only have 999 to catch ><><>
