Block Island Fishing/Spearfishing Regulations
Going up to block island next Wednesday through Saturday. Wanted a clarification on striped bass regulations, but would appreciate the full deal if possible. Thanks everyone

Re: Block Island Fishing/Spearfishing Regulations
Spearing around the island from shore or boat is about as good as it gets.
Striper regs are one fish per day between 28-35 inches. This slot is new this year and makes selecting a fish underwater a definite challenge You also need a RI saltwater fishing license ($7/year RI Resident or $10/year non-resident or $5 for a week resident or non-resident) http://www.dem.ri.gov/programs/manag...g-licenses.php All species are same via spear as rod-n-reel. Tautog is closed till August 1. Lots of Black Seabass around the island in depths of 20-40. http://www.dem.ri.gov/programs/marin...izes.php#recre Enjoy! |

Re: Block Island Fishing/Spearfishing Regulations
Don't forget to clip the right pectoral (side) fin of the bass over 34" (between 34 and the maximum 35 inches)
And watch your back, there are a few Great Whites around, I saw a small one (~6ft) last weekend close to windmills. |
