Bob,
There is always a lot of talk about charter boats fishing outside of the EEZ.
This is my theory. I don't agree with the law on the EEZ. But its what we are dealt with today. So in saying that, "I abide by the Law". Period. I let all of my charters know that before they even book the trip. So there is no question what so ever when it comes to fishing over the line.
Do others do it! I guess some "yes" & some "no". I can only control what happens here onboard my vessel, and I don't fish over the line! I really don't pay to much attention to gossip, so I can't tell you if its a problem.
But if their inside, its "GAME ON BABY"
