WHIMP! ;D

[HOIST-N-HAWGS]

I'm thinking of turning these into teams or singles 5 fish limit. Entry fee $20 per person,$5 opt.luner, or stay at $10 if $20 means we're going to lose people.

Your thoughts please!

Would like to get in on some of this action. (Unless the Stripers and Blues are in)

Crawdacious is kinda small for Stafford tho.

Yeah it's questionable depending on the wind.  I'll be fishing out of the jon myself, unless this turns to teams/singles. Then I'll try to hitch a ride.

Sweet! Your always ontop of  things John,should have joined your club 2 years ago instead ;D

It's legal so yeah, motors are allowed on Stafford

[Bass Hole]

Only one problem with this law is that boats with bigger than 10 horse power motors will no be able to prefish becuse thy also changed the law from operating to lunching.

We were too late the deal was already made.

[masssilversrt4]

Do you mean changed from Operating to Launching??

I used my bass tracker a few months back up there and there were some others up there as well but I did not use the gas motor only trolling... There is a big sign there.. Oh and the water was down and launching sucked as well as the rocks 5-10 feet from the ramp all the way out to the main part of the pond.

Unbelievable : Let me know if there's another meeting coming up. ONLY IN RI!

[Bass Hole]

Here is the email response when this new reg was questioned.

Frank:

You are correct in your interpretation. The rule was changed to only allow boats with motors less than 10 HP to be launched from this ramp, unless they are involved in a organized fishing activity with a permit from RIDEM.

There was much debate on this but thats what was settled upon after all of the public hearings. You can challenge this next year at the hearing if desired.
