MS Tourney - Surf Fishing Club Challenge - Oct 15-17

If I have my mass/ federal saltwater license thingy, do I need to get any type of license in RI????

I think you should be all set.

In order to fish recreationally i Rhode Island's marine waters, and in offshore federal waters, saltwater recreational anglers and spearfishers will need

* A federal registration, or
* A Rhode Island state license, or
* A state license from a reciprocal state

Under federal law, every saltwater angler must be registered. It can be done via the Federal Angler Registry (register online at www.countmyfish.noaa.gov) or through a state license. The Rhode Island license gives everyone the option. Anglers can register for $7 with Rhode Island or use the Federal Registry. Either will be accepted.

Of course, I would just give up now. No way you're winning two tourneys in a row

Weather ain't lookin so good anyway. Besides, all the reports say there aren't any fish in RI, at least within the fishing boundaries......

My experience at the Hab's tourney would confirm that... But others (point point) may have found otherwise!

I would love to fish with ya guys, but I'm part of Newport county. Should be a good time, this is the first time I've fished it, looking forward to it.
