FWIW, the permit is issued to the vessel. So if I have one for my boat and I hook one while fishing with you on your boat, I can't keep it. OTOH, if you fish with me on my boat, you are covered even though I bought the license. At least it works both ways.
Even if you could buy a license to fish them from shore, how many surfcasters would pay $22 in case they hook an sbft? I'm guessing not many.
I'm kinda surprised that Joe has no problem with poaching. He uses the same rationalization that googans use to keep short bass. "hey, if I'm lucky enough ... I'm gonna keep it"
