If someone gets caught fishing with out a licence they can get
£2-3000 fine
6 months in jail or longer non custodial sentance
ALL their tackle confiscated
obviously a criminal record

the problem here is that there are not the funding for the Environment Agency to correctly police the law so people get away with breaking the law

AND
a lot of immigrants just claim ignorance and steal our fish anyway just to eat cheaply
