There's a distinction between what a dictionary reads and what the law says.
If you trespass to fish for then you could get charged with trespassing while you were fishing or enroute to fish - but that does not make you a poacher.

[BassDawg]

i'd like to extend the definiton to include its
modern day interpretation of those

ill reputes who take undersized fish of ALL species!!
not reputable and will cost you some dough and, perhaps,
some time in jail should you be a mommaluke whence caught!!

FL has a zero tolerance with regards to its snook fishery,,,,,,,,,,,
get caught with an illegal linesider down there and they will take
everything attached to the fish (ie boat, trailer, truck, and you);
plus any fines that are due

Does anyone here add vinegar to the water when poaching?It is supposed to make the finished egg look nicer.

[ThrowingTimber]

person who thinks its cool to go out and play "commercial fisherman" out of season and without the proper permitting.

Person who takes more than their legal catch, sometimes multiple times a day. Catching a limit various times in one day.

Person who takes fish below the minimum size approved by law.

Poaching is the illegal hunting, fishing or harvesting of wild plants or animals. It may be illegal because:

* The game or fish is not in season, usually the breeding season is declared as the closed season when wildlife species are protected by law.
* The poacher does not possess a license.
* The poacher is illegally selling the animal or animal parts or plant for a profit.
* The animal is being hunted outside of legal hours.
* The hunter used an illegal weapon for that animal.
* The animal or plant is on restricted land.
* The right to hunt this animal is claimed by somebody.
* The means used are illegal (for example, baiting a field while hunting quail or other animals, using spotlights to stun or paralyze deer, or hunting from a moving vehicle, watercraft, or aircraft).
* The animal or plant is protected by law or that it has been listed as extinct or an endangered (see for example the Endangered Species Act for the USA)
* The animal or plant has been tagged by a researcher
