RI currently has three options as follows:

• 1 fish, 28 - <35, OR
• 1 fish, 32 - <40 for all, OR
• Split mode 1 fish, 32 - <40 private/shore and 1 fish, 30 - <40 for-hire

Here is a write-up I did on where each states stands, recreaitonally, from ME to VA: http://www.thefisherman.com/index.cf...3&ParentCat=19.

Just for clarification 28" to 35" no split mode is option 3. It is listed first above. Option 2 was the split mode option I believe, and option 1 was 32 to 40 for all.

You can email your choice to

RI Department of Environmental Management
ATTN: Peter Duhamel
3 Fort Wetherill Road
Jamestown, RI 02835
peter.duhamel@dem.ri.gov

Again if you want to keep the fishery open 28" to 35" is our best shot.
