EEZ Bust

[ivanputski]

I'm a habitual speeder when I drive... good guy, not a criminal.
I sometimes catch myself going 85-90, but quickly slow down after.

When I get pulled over by the cops, I dont call "witch hunt" because thousands of other guys speed all summer long without getting a ticket.

Everyone knows there is a 3 mile limit. Everyone.

Speeding is a great analogy to fishing the EEZ, a lot of people do it but it is still against the law.

Car Theft compares a bit to the Poaching.

I don't see how this is a witch hunt, witches (supposedly) don't exist. People fishing in the EEZ - happens all the time.

I'm not a boat guy and I'm curious as to why boats have to crowd the line or go over? With all the good fishing areas around Block why would anyone need to take the chance? I'm sure a lot of these guys are pretty good fishermen and know how to fish other areas. Easy fish? Black market fish? Why don't honest boat fishermen call these illegal boats and captains out?
