The DEM officially released an emergency measure banning all goldfish, including the Black Salty from FRESHWATER use. They went on to okay our permit to import, and thus allowing the Black Salty to be shipped into RI for saltwater use as a bait. I was surprised how quickly this got resolved considering what I heard it could take. The fact that a high ranking State Police official used some before the ban might have helped.
Sam's Bait and Tackle, Wildwood Outfitters, Ocean State Tackle(both), Riverside, and Lucky's will have them, and Snug Harbor will have the striper size, as well as the fluke size, all shops will have them by Friday afternoon, just in time for the holiday weekend. Anyone interested in further info please PM me.
As a side note, I had bass up to 33 pounds today up the bay, they were under massive schools of adult pogies!! Get ready for the big girls!!!
