Sources are reporting that the Governor of RI is leaning on RI DEM to allow 2 Striped Bass for anglers on board a for hire trip.
Its time for RI residents to contact your Governor and let her know you want 1 fish @ 28" for all. Don't waste your time if you are not a RI resident. It's obvious the RI For Hire Fleet has been working on their Governor BUT it is very possible to educated the Governor on the will of the people, especially how controversial this issue has become. Governors don't like fish controversy.
I suggest the following messages:
1 regulation for all citizens, Fair i fair. Why is she supporting less fish for RI residents? Why risk further restrictions when the industry made plenty of money under the 1 @ 28" regulation? Whys is she ignoring the clear will of the majority of RI residents?
