The Seeker 3,048 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I would suspect if he's convicted of a criminal offence which it looks like he is going to be charged with he can wave bye bye to his SGC/FAC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 About 20 years ago a mate? and myself got pulled with no salmon with us. The bailifs made up some cock and bull story and the court believed them, outcome was £500 for placing a net and £500 for using a net. Ouch. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bird 10,014 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 if caught out of the sea, (if) they had hid the nets and just drove back with fish+ rods in truck, surley its not against the law to catch with rod+ line from the sea.??? or am i wrong, like if you travel with game (deer+ hare) in truck day+ night , as long as you got no guns+lamp or dogs in the truck, only game which you bought from a bloke at a pub car park lol you not breaking the law .?
