I believe $100 is the maximum allowable fine in many cases, assuming this is a Massachusetts herring run. I know that's the biggest ticket I can write a herring poacher at my run. I'm just a Fish Warden though, not an EPO.

I do have very thorough confiscation powers. If it's fishing related, I can confiscate it.

Of course, the herring run is so weak this year I haven't seen anyone get near their limit.
