Fab1 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 They got off lightly if you ask me.If I made the law,I would personally tie a anchor to each of their feet and help them overboard.I could then gaurantee they wouldn't re-offend.I have no time for these idiots at all.

MainframeJames Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Friend probably knew what was going on... If not he just learned a life lesson for trusting dodgy a-holes. Some people pay the stupid tax in advance, some in arrears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Simply greed, looking at the boat I would say the owner isn't short of a few $$$ and simply not taking a feed for the family. The rules are there for everyone plain and easy to understand, those who hide fish in their boats deserve what's coming to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffb5.8 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 The boat was set up with false floors to hide fish. worse still not a scrap of ice to be seen, so the fish wasn't even looked after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
