As far as the 2 fish for a shore guy versus 15 for a boat, how is that going to be determined as far as which category an angler falls into?

Will depend on the permit they have. Generally shore guys have a rod & reel permit (2 fish) vs a boat permit (15 fish)

Whats gonna stop a shore guy from getting a boat license??? How are they gonna know when he sells his drop that he got them from shore or boat? Loop hole??? I don't know just a stupid curious question?

Pretty sure your boat registration is required to get a boat license. License is for the boat and not the angler like the shore one is...at least I think that's how it works.
