HAHA. THIS IS WHAT ALL ANGLERS LOVE TO READ,,,!!!
The Eastern Regional Fisheries Board (ERFB) has won a court case against two people for coarse fishing offences on waters in the Castleblayney area of Co Monaghan. Neither defendant appeared in court.
Judge Sean McBride ordered that one defendant serve two six-month concurrent prison sentences and imposed a fine of €250. The second defendant was given a €1,000 fine with one month to pay. Total costs awarded to the ERFB amounted to €2,480.
The offences related to the netting of coarse fish in a tributary stream of Lough Muckno at Castleblayney in September 2007. The individuals were apprehended by court-appointed angling club water-keepers, who witnessed the illegal activity. An inflatable dinghy, a net and a large number of bream were seized by the ERFB and gardaí.
The board was instrumental in introducing the coarse and pike bylaws in 2006 and is proactive in its enforcement, with more than 60 fines and eight prosecutions initiated.
In addition, fisheries staff has carried out many searches resulting in thousands of coarse fish being released, together with the confiscation of offending fishing gear.
ITS A GREAT START . WE NEED MORE OF THIS AROUND IRELAND AND IN NORTHERN IRELAND

Well jasis that brings a smile to my face reading that!! Good enough for the f*ckers!!! Muckno is a good venue but with crap like that going on, it wouldn't be long before Muckno becomes one of those lakes that 'used to be a great venue', along the lines of Ramor I would say!!
A few more decisions like this Judge would be a result!
