RECREATIONAL SALTWATER FISHING PERMIT

LOL...RI is the most corrupt state in the nation. The money will be stolen, laundered, abused, and probably used for a bribe. I never understood the logic where they punish those that create jobs.

I have lived in 7 states and RI probably has the best geographic potential out of any of them yet the officials are a laughing stock outside the state. It is pathetic.

The reality is few will even buy the lic. They have no enforcement. How many times were you stopped and asked to show your lic this year?

The Green Police aren't asking for the Registry card because it's a Federal regulation, and there's no penalty in the law for not having one, it seems. I was told by an EPO in April that any enforcement would be "informational-only". There's also no revenue in enforcing it this year, since there was no fee to get one, and there's no fine for not having one.

Next year, I'm betting that there will be enforcement
