It's pretty simple guys - if you have possession of bass in federal waters - you are in violation (with exeption of those transit lanes mentioned above).
If you catch some bass inshore, and then go tuna fishing - you are in violation.
If you catch bass at the race, and steam straight back to green harbor - you are in violation.
If you catch a bass in your harbor, and then go whalewatching with your kids - you are in violation.
It's a pretty simple rule. Not really a fair rule, or one that makes a whole lot of sense, but a simple rule.
As far as why aren't guys busted for fishing the Race, and steaming back to Green Harbor through fed waters -- maybe the Green Guys have more important things to do than enforce a technicality on guys that are doing the right thing by actually catching in state waters.
