As I said there is no fine.
I got stopped about a month ago on the way back into downtown Boston dropping a charter off.
They just came up beside me and asked a few questions, no problems.
I also asked them a few questions (that being one) they said they don't fine anyone because they don't know or have an amount set.
All they can do is stop you from fishing and make sure you go on your way.
On the way back out I tracked them down again to ask a few more questions.
We had 14 fish worth of fillets with us (as allowed with our charter)
I dropped my clients off at the fed court house in boston.
These guys were all from either out of the country or state and were flying out later. I planned to vacuum seal all fillets, put in my freezer for 4-5 days then over night ship to one of the guys (you don't want to know what that cost)
Now I had myself, mate & 28 fillets on my boat.
I asked the guys what happens if I got boarded now ?
"we've never run across that before"
