Three Vancouver Area Fish Harvesters Receive $2,300 in Fines and a One-Year Fishing Prohibition for Illegal Possession of Lingcod and Copper RockfishNovember 20, 2008


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. - Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) announced today that enforcement activities undertaken by the Department have led to the conviction of three fish harvesters from the Vancouver area for the illegal possession of 13 copper rockfish and one lingcod, contrary to the Fisheries Act.

On April 14, 2008, Zhi Yong GUO and Ze Jun HU pled guilty, in North Vancouver Provincial Court, to illegal possession of lingcod and copper rockfish, and were ordered to pay the court $1,300 in fines. Both had their fishing licence suspended for one year.

On April 14, 2008, Weng Fen LIU pled not guilty to possession of copper rockfish. The court found Mr. LIU guilty of this charge on September 15, 2008, fined him $1,000 and suspended his fishing licence for one year.

In addition to the fines, fishing gear including a fishing rod, spear gun and tackle box was forfeited to the Crown.

DFO fishery officers apprehended the three accused during a rockfish patrol in the vicinity of West Vancouver on August 6, 2007.

DFO acts to end illegal fishing activity. As part of this work, the Department is asking the general public for information on activities of this nature or any contravention of the Fisheries Act and Regulations. Anyone with information can call the toll-free violation reporting line at 1-800-465-4336.

See ya give those Scottish people an inch and they take a mile.

 

[Barbender]

I know what you mean. I saw a group of Scots taking undersized crab from Pedder one year. They got busted and fined. Not sure why they do it more than others. Maybe they need it to make their Haggis egg rolls?!?

 

[Brisco]

Maybe those Scots just didn't know the regs. Like the ones in Richmond that bought their drivers licence. Maybe they don't know the laws.

 

[The Fish Assassin]

Hey if you guys pulled the cloaks off your heads you would see that those arn't scottish names. Although they are both immigrants.[:0]

Take only what you need.

 

[searun]

Sure they are Scots, you can tell from the dresses or kilt things they had to wear in jail....or was that just because they had to impress their new bunk mate? They will be experts in under size crabs real soon.

no sh*t Sherlock. They are bad guys who need to be given a ticket back home,but that would be too simple for our government to see.

 

[Humpy]

Wait! please hold everything.... you are really trying to get me to believe..... Zhi Yong Guo..... is not Scottish, come on.!... Guo is a very popular Scottish Sirname, not to correct anyone[}]

Oh please, how more Scottish can you get. Zhi Yong Guo is a well known clan in the highlands. And the Ze Jun Hu clan is well regarded in the lowlands. As striper sniper so accurately pointed out they make a mighty fine single malt. I think them make it with rice....

I always like to see immigrants telling other immigrants to go home.. [] It sucks to have someone come from another country and steal the resources..doesn't it?


Take only what you need.

 

[Nimo]

Actually, what sucks and upsets us all is to see any individuals reaping more than they sew or abusing any resource even beyond the generous allowances provided by our system - regardless of heritage.

By the way, according to the general definitian:
"What is an immigrant?
An Immigrant is a person who has citizenship in one country but who enters a different country to set up a permanent residence. Just entering another country does not make you an immigrant. In order to be an immigrant you must have citizenship in one country, and you must have gone to a different country with the specific intention of living there."

The vast majority of us on here are far from being immigrants and in fact have as much right to this land and its resources as anyone.

What I would find useful is if someone could provide a definitian of a Troll. Is this necessarily someone new with few posts or can it include any of us that may be just routinely and purposefully causing an irritation? Just curious.

 

[WaterBourneDisease]

Troll, in Scandinavian mythology, a powerful giant that was an enemy of humans. Trolls lived in caves or in castles on hilltops, robbing and eating any travelers foolish enough to stray into their domain after dark. Huge, hard-skinned, and virtually indestructible, they could only be vanquished by sunlight, which would either turn them to stone or make them explode.

Ghu, Hu & Liu, eastern Scandinavian with low-land Scottish roots...

much less than my two cents worth

"they could only be vanquished by sunlight, which would either turn them to stone or make them explode."

If we have to wait for the rain to stop I guess this'll be a long winter

 

[alley cat]

Exactly nimo , easy to find them if you concentrate , they come on line start an innoccuous thread with a little meat for those who delight in tearing into others of a different ethnic background then carefully add fuel to the fire.
Notice how unsubtle the changing to a different race type name with the same sly connotations fired at those they really have targeted , yep a long winter coming , too bad we don't concentrate on fishing and techniques which I thought this site was devoted to.
I talked with some members of this group who don't post anymore and it is plainly because of the rantings which occur on a regular basis that a large majority of us find unacceptable.

Doesn't anyone have a sense of humour anymore. Geez methinks everyone is a bit testy after a lousy fishing season.
