[quote name='fdefinis' post='18709' date='Apr 26 2010, 03:51 PM']You do not need a license to catch squid. The complete RI fisheries regulations are posted at the RIDEM website but I read that they do not consider this "fishing" per the license requirements.[/quote]
You're ab solutely correct. I copied this directly from the RI DEM website:
"Anyone who is recreationally fishing for shellfish, lobsters, crabs, or squid, does not need a recreational fishing license (or a federal registration). However, a separate RI recreational lobster license is needed to take lobsters, and for non-residents, a separate recreational shellfish license is needed to take shellfish. Additionally, non-residents may not harvest blue crabs. "
