I guess reality is, though, that there are not those places available

Outside of the US there are still some very cool places where people
can and do fish for their dinner. It does put a certain amount of
pressure on your fishing skill however. :-)

I always wondered how the fishing laws deal with live aboards. You are
required to bring most game fish, lobsters and such to shore whole.
I have to admit I have seen an occasional "bug" fall on the gas grill
with the hot dogs but accidents do happen. Stone crab claws aren't
half bad on the grill either.

When I went to Hawaii, I wanted to go fishing on a boat. I was informed
that all the catch went to the captain and crew, that the passengers paid
only for the privilege of fishing.

I didn't go.

I was wondering how a fisherman would be affected by being within the
coastal boundaries of any nation, and what their licensing requirements
would be. I mean, you have to dock (pay) and go get a license ( pay) and
then hopefully not incur any violations (pay) ...........
