Wheatley fishing captain fined $3,000


A Wheatley commercial fishing boat captain was fined $3,000 after pleading guilty to failing to safely remove his gill nets from the waters of Lake Erie during February and March in 2009.
According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, Captain Harold Grubb submitted his daily catch report to the MNR on March 9, 2009 which indicated he had retrieved the gill nets that were set in the water for 18 days.
Conditions of a commercial fishing licence permit the nets to remain in the lake for a maximum of eight days during the winter months to ensure excellent fish quality and to prevent gill nets from becoming lost in poor ice conditions.
The case was heard by Justice Stephen Fuerth in the Ontario Court of Justice in Chatham on Oct. 21.
To report a natural resources violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) toll-free any time or contact your local ministry office during regular business hours. You can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS, to read more go to www.leamingtonpostandshopper.com.
