[quote name='flukeprodigy' post='14142' date='Mar 31 2009, 03:52 PM']I'm not sure how to address your post b/c I can't tell if you're being sarcastic , arrogant or a combination of both.
Are you complaining that people from out of state fish in rhode island waters? From the sound of your "dumbass tri-stater" comment, I would assume so. Also I clearly said "I DON'T WANT TO TURN THIS INTO A POLITICAL DEBATE"[/quote]
I apologize if I insulted you. I did not mean to do so. I believe the fishing license should only be applicable towards out of state residents. I believe the enforcement of the license is to reduce the amount of recreational fisherman and to help fund the Rhode Island's Treasury. There has been a decline in specific finfish such as Scup which is undergoing judicial review for it the regulation of the species. That's where the problem lies. There hasn't been much of an increase in recreational fisherman 20 years ago up until now. The fingers need to be pointed at the commercial fishing industry of Rhode Island. That's were I believe there needs tighten the quota of finfish. But then again, Rhode Island is a corrupted state and it starts with our Governer.
