a commercial salmon fisherman has been fined $5000.00 for illegal fishing. Jay Gold was fishing with prohibited hooks on june 15/07. Fisheries officers boarded the Miss Venus near la perouse reef on the northwest corner of graham island and discovered that Gold was using barbed hooks to catch spring salmon. Gold of victoria was fined $5000.00 of which $4900.00 will go towards salmon enhancement. it was his second conviction for the same offence.
great that this guy got nailed but for a second conviction don,t you think that this is a pretty prissy fine?
