Unless the penalties really hit them hard, they won't stop poaching.
They will just change their approach to try and avoid future stings.

Since these POS's aren't riding in their first rodeo, they more than likely have established their poaching as part of their accepted way of doing business. So what if they get caught? The fine is less than one day's haul, and they can ALWAYS poach more to make up for it?

Hit them hard, prevent them from being able to poach by keeping them on land and away from fishing, and see how smug these dirtbags really are!!
