I was stopped by the clam cops and I offered to give him one of my fishies that I was dragging back with some one's lobster rope... funny bumping into him at 2 am... and yes he wanted to see my RI lic. It happen about a month ago

middle of may came out of the water whilst others stayed in an fished, talkedto the guy for awile and he finally asked me for it, had it on another plug bag, but he was ok with it cause I proved to be an upstanding citizen. upon further review he said they were just trying to keep an eye on the stock, I toldhim he needed to focus on the more popular areas where the ppl heed no regulations an beat to thier own drum. thankfully he believed me and went about his business

I have yet to be asked but they have been very actively asking just about everyone who is fishing off the State Fish Pier. They actually fined a whole bunch of guys $50 each who were fishing for mackerel but had no license. They are stationed right at the beginning of the pier so it is quite easy for them to drive/walk down and start asking.
