Rex has been featured on the cover of this year’s Department of Fish and Wildlife issue of Rhode Island Saltwater Fishing Magazine! He was so excited to find out he’s repping the regs for the year! If a 6 yr old can follow the rules, so can you! Do your part out there. If you see something FISHY going on, say something! Let’s keep this fishery going healthy and strong!
