Kelly, In Northern europe we have a different approach to fishing. Fishing is mostly done on inner waters or at the beach.

Sea fishing is usually done on commercial trawlers or supply vessels which the shipping companies offer for the weekend to make some extra cash.
You simply make a reservation and once the boat is fully booked you get a phonecall that you're good to go.

Another issue is that north sea fish for example is a lot smaller than maybe around Florida. We don't have sharks or marlins, so there's simply no point to use an american style sportfish. Since I only go sea fishing to gather with friends instead of catching fish.

I take my hooks of the line so there's no harm done to any fishes, in case you worry about me wounding fish
