Are these guys the worst fishermen in the country?

Those fines are going to hurt if they are poor people as described - is payment enforced?

Good that they got moved on, assume they are only here because waters close to home are fished out.

Yeah they sound pretty enterprising and not afraid of a bit of hard work!

Not sure of the current regulations but previously the fines were only imposed if the fishermen were caught fishing inside Australian waters again i.e. for a second time
