Don't suppose you still have this marine ply for sale do you?

I have no issue with this question.........but I don't know the answer!

My concern is how many times did he get away with it before he got caught. If his catch value is say £1,000, but he's gotten away with it 10 times previously, then £3,000 is a pitiful fine and certainly not a deterrent striking fear into the hearts of other skippers! I thought prior to this that they had their fishing gear confiscated. If a lad gets caught at the reservoir breaking the rules his tackle is confiscated immediately! What's the difference?
