Two individuals from Port Mouton were apprehended yesterday after being caught fishing with illegal bait.
Fishery officers in Liverpool caught the two failing to release their by-catch and using cod fish and rock crabs as bait.
The two, who can not be named will appear in Liverpool Court at a later date.
