Newport Ri 2014 Squid Season

[ejburbank]

I emailed RI DEM last year an this was their reply:

 

Hi Mr. Burbank,

My name is Kevin Smith and I am a Principal Biologist with the Rhode Island Division of Fish and Wildlife. Ray Macera, up at Licensing, forwarded me your email and asked that I respond to you. To answer your question: Yes, a recreational license is required to recreationally fish for squid. In 2012, the regulations were amended to include squid in the recreational license requirements. Here is a link to the regulations, and if you scroll down to Rule 9, section 9.1, you will see that squid is included: <a class="bbc_url" href='http://www.dem.ri.gov/pubs/regs/regs/fishwild/licensing.pdf' title="External link"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255);">http://www.dem.ri.gov/pubs/regs/regs/fishwild/licensing.pdf</a></span>

Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Kevin
