This same scenario played out last season in Edmonds. The fine if I remember right is $30 per shrimp over the limit. Confiscation of gear and boat is also typical. I know last season the dept. used the poaching incident to close the season early citing the huge poaching take as a deciding factor. I don't really know what happened to the guy who got busted last year after going to court but maybe we can do some research and find out. I know of huge ove rlimit incidents in Hood Canal by land owners who do not recognize the WDFW enforcement. Others who have said they will catch as many as they can because the indians can do that ....why can't I?
