RI Fishing license info 2012 and DEM police numbers

[shurbet]

For what it's worth in Ct your fishing and or your hunting license can be suspended for about any infraction. I can see this happening in the near future to people fishing the brine. Once government figures out this potential new revenue stream they are missing out on; the short scup or pollock you're using for live bait may end up costing you a hefty fine and your license being suspended.

In CT it's even illegal to use fluke strips from yesterdays catch unless you have the carcass and then it would be added to the current days bag limit.

What the government giveth the governmnet taketh away unless od course it's welfare.

So i called the RI dem yesterday and they were on the spot within 5 minutes. I watched a guy take a few tog to his car in plastic bags. Also, the same guy was keeping some tog in a pool in the rocks. I did not see him put them in there but i was walking past a pool and found 2 12" tog in the pool. I asked him if they were his and he nodded in the negative. So i fished the cute little bastards out and threw them back, healthy as could be. I drove past the spot about 5 minutes after i called it in and the green cop was pulling in as the folks were packing up their car. Im 99% sure he nailed them, i didnt stick around to find out. THis is the second time i have called and they arrived. I am pretty impressed with the RI DEM, not so much with MA, they have been less than interested when i have called in violations.
