I get boarded on average 2 -3 times a summer outside of Green Harbor. Due to a tip from local commercial tuna fishermen, The coast guard and EPs knew there was undersize bluefin being sold to restaurants and were going to put a stop to it. They caught a couple of people and there's some big fines on the way for a few people going back a couple of years. Since then they've pretty much had the CG attack boat parked off Green Harbor.

If it's true that you are technically not supposed to cross CCB, then I'm surprised there is not more fines handed out on technicalities.

Sunday I watched the CG escort in a 31 Contender with about 5 mid 30 yr old guys on it, that had obviously been tuna fishing. The CG was driving the boat with the 5 guys sitting on the stern. I'm curious to know what happened there.
