Vital mistake costs fishermen £1k in fines

A vital mistake has cost three fishermen over £1,000 in fines.

Joe Edgar of Baker Street, Huyton, Louis Cannon of Knowsley Lane, Liverpool, and Anthony Wood of Harsefinch Road, St Helens, were all caught fishing in Merseyside without a licence. North Cheshire Magistrates Court heard how Edgar and Cannon were spotted by a Fisheries Enforcement Officer at Carrside Fishery near Ince Blundell on October 17.

When the pair were asked to show a rod licence they weren't able to. The same day Wood was also found to be fishing without a licence at a popular fishing spot near Rosemary Wood.
