« Senate to vote on bill allowing 24-hour gambling | Today | Mashpee, Mass., residents approve land deal with tribe » April 8, 2008Fishing for cars in the Blackstone RiverDid gas prices get too high? No place to park? What ever the reason, there are cars in the Blackstone River and they need to get out. This morning, the Blackstone River Watershed Council and the Rhode Island State Police Dive Team are working to fish about 20 cars out of the river in Pawtucket. Aside from towing cars out of the river, the project is getting local agencies and business owners a chance to work together to clean up an area of the state that is steeped in history. Robinson Crane Services of Lincoln, Town Line Towing of North Providence and Bill’s Auto Parts of Cumberland will be helping the state police and the BRWC. And there may be another bonus; some of the vehicles may wind up in the hands of the Rhode Island State Police for criminal investigation, maybe providing information on unsolved crimes. The Big Tow is set to start at 9 a.m. today at the Blackstone River, next to the Municipal Pier off School Street. -- projo.com staff writer Brandie M.

It was my understanding that the Municipal Pier is on the other side of the river. The State Pier is on the School Street side.
We know quite a few people who fish in that part of the river, which is a tidal estuary that sometimes attracts bluefish. You don't need a license because it's salt water fishing.
