Using one of their high speed copters simply fly down a line 3 miles off shore at about 200' off the water with still/video cameras rolling on all vessels fishing outside the 3mi. line. Once beyond the fleet they could circle back and photo/video vessel names and reg. #s of the fleeing boats.

They could later send undercover agents on the boats they observe 'out of bounds' to see what their up to. Or maybe have agents meet the boats back at the dock to see whats in their boxes.
