Populations notwithstanding, all one has to do is spend a couple of days around Leamington near the marinas where a lot of commercial outfits work. In fact, there are "slaughter and processing" facilities in the same area. You will see many many net boats heading for the border south of Pelee. And the border often is blurred. I've been out there at the crack of dawn, at the line, and seen nets that stretched south of the border. I've seen it a couple of times. What can you do when they are picking up?

All the charter boats in the western basin couldn't touch what those netters from the west end of the canadian shore take. Don't kid us, or yourself.
