Just to add a little clarity on a point that was skirted around.As far as reciprocity goes,there are NO NEW PERMITS in RI.It doesn't matter if you're from RI,Mass,or South Dakota.

With all due respect MIke--historical landing figures are just someone's best guess. As many New Yorkers as Rhode Islanders fished Mass. No one was licensed, no catch figures were ever accurately recorded, most of the bass was shipped to Fulton Fish market, and guessing what the distribution was among Mass/RI/NY/CT/anywhere else.....

your right .. the NY boys did a number in the surf on the cape //

what I meant was , Mass, RI, NY or Conn fishmen sold most of thire fish to mass dealers . the guys fishing the outer cape .. really had no rational choice / && I., pretty sure CoNn had already started to stop the sale of bass in that state & we in RI .it was strictly a finincial [sp] move . Mass was paying much higher than RI .
you could go to Spooners in westport & get good money & wait for the check && then many of us got nailed by the IRS .. or you could go to N/B & get paid less /but got paid on the spot ;
So when they were figuring out the quota,s //mass was way high to some degree of the infux of fish caught out of state & sold in Mass>>>
&&&&&&&& ya had to piss to the right >><><
