This one I'd check out very! carefully with the Fed's ours and the Canadians. Once you've crossed into Canadian Waters you're under the thumb of their laws and regulations (catch, licence, etc).

It's one thing to 'transite' Canadian waters going from one place in the US to another, but quite a different thing being described here.

Been a LOT of years since I was in the US Coast Guard in the Straights, but once you crossed the international dateline you had a very different game plan going.
