Scott Steer has been a well known poacher for years.What he was convicted of was a small percentage of the illegl fishing he had been doing right up to the day of his sentancing.He has cost honest fisherman money from steeling outside of seasons and creating stress to other fishers knowing he is taking away their livelihoods.Scott is well known by most fishers in his roll of recruiting honest first nations people to help him in his poaching schemes to sell fish and shellfish under native food fishing licences.His penalty was too light for his crimes if anyone deserved the maximum penaltys by law it should of been him
