stripers in fed waters

All this protest at what is going on in NV and Va is all well and good. But you guys should also look in your own backyard. This stuff goes on all summer long right off Block Island. Sure they don't catch the same amount of fish as the guys down south report catching. But it seems a little bit like the pot calling the kettle black.
There are few of us RI charter boats that stay out of the EEZ, but there are loads of boats that fish in the EEZ day after day, if thats where the fish are. Private boats are usually fishing right alongside of them. Both types of boats from RI and from Montauk.

All the more reason to drop the dime on people. Enough phone calls and outrage and someone is bound to act on it. Then, when the crooked bastards get fined to death or get a bad reputation, all the better for the legitimate charter boats.
