WSMSO I believe it is no target. Is it worth the hassle of gear seizure potential boat seizure. If you catch the wrong EPO on the wrong day. I would call the DEM and ask them for a written explanation. I would guess you are not the only person with a level of confusion on this.

Good post. It's illegal to "target" bass in the eez.
So I'm sure you could be a smart guy and say your fishing for bluefish - and then deal with an epo or coastie whose task that day is to send a message that eez fishing is illegal.
Maybe you can avoid the bass fine on a technicality, but I'm sure an epo trying to make a point can crawl up your azz and around your boat for an hour and find something to write you up.
