I live in CT and keep my boat in a CT marina. If take my boat by water from CT to RI waters fishing and return as part of the same trip to my marina in CT, which state's fishing regulations apply while fishing in RI?
I ask the question in regards to black fish and black sea bass which are sometimes open in RI while closed in CT. If the answer is RI and I get stopped by CT DEP with CT closed season fish, will they accept a legal RI Bag in CT? I can/will document fish were caught in RI by taking a picture with my phone showing the time and coordinates/location when/where fish were caught.
Please shed some light on the confusion that exists on regulation jurisdiction for me and others on this site.
