I don't think it'd matter for recs, just allow EPs to give out fines for fishing without a license. For comms though, they'll be risking their livelihood by poaching. Either that or hit them where it really hurts - big fine for the first offense and you lose your boat/gear on the second offense.
With the way things are now, the poachers merely get a slap on the write and consider these small fines a cost of doing business.
