Enforcement in the EEZ has been basically non-existent. That is why everyone and their brother fishes there with impunity. Kind of like a sanctuary city for striped bass fishermen

On on of my boat trips to BI last summer I left the great salt pond and went west and around the island the long way to go inspect the wind farm (which was totally cool). When I was out there the coast guard was stopping every fishing boat at the 3 mile line. To say they “never” enforce the rule is false. I saw it with my own eyes.

The possibility of getting caught is an amazing deterrent as opposed to knowing you will never get caught.

That's encouraging. But you know what I mean.
