Trawlerman fined £5,000 for fishing in closed area

The Intrepid

An Irish trawler master has been fined £5,000 for illegal fishing. 

James McKinley was caught fishing for king scallops in a closed area off the Island’s west coast on Monday. 
 
It's after a satellite tracker fitted to his vessel alerted authorities to his location.
 
McKinley appeared before the Deputy High Bailiff at Douglas Courthouse yesterday - he was also fined £50 in court costs.
