    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.
