Newport Ri 2014 Squid Season

[JANZ]

This one from RI DEM sight


 

• 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.
  

Then this one which is listed in the " ANNUAL REPORT" (DOES NOT SAY LAW) (says taken from statute, which

may have been changed since they mention 2010 quite a lot.  I have shown stuff like this to EO's only

for them to dissapear and check it out themselves only to find out they changed the statute and the EO's

weren't even aware of it.  Like I said I have mine but would be interesting to challenge.

 

As established by the statute, anyone wishing to recreationally fish or spe
arfish in
the marine waters of Rhode Island must possess either a RI state license, a s
tate license
from a reciprocal state, or a federal registration. The requirement sole
ly pertains to those
harvesting, or attempting to harvest, finfish and/or squid for non-commercial purposes.
In 2012, regulations were amended to have the requirements also include those
harvesting, or attempting to harvest, squid.
