Bastard thieves should be publicly flogged, absolutely correct...unfortunately this is against the law. I have night vision gear and it gives me great pleasure to watch quietly from a distance and then pounce on these buggers. Given that I work for the regulator and have several contacts within Boating and Fisheries, you can be sure I will report every one I catch. Photographic evidence is recorded whenever I get close enough to do so. Boating and Fisheries WILL act on your complaints but remember you need to have as much info (evidence) as possible. The more we report these lowlifes hopefully the less our pots will be tampered with.
Tight lines and full pots!
