Water rage costs man $7000
RAMMING a fishing boat in Port Alma after a fight with the owner cost a fisherman nearly $7000 in court this week.
Rockhampton commercial fisherman John Cecil Harris, 45, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to one count of operating a vehicle unsafely, which is an offence under the Transport Operations Marine Safety act.
The court heard Harris had been setting fishing nets at Port Alma on February 24, 2008, when another fisherman had breached the ‘100-metre rule’ – a guideline which fishermen used to ensure fishing nets were not damaged by other boats.
In tomorrow's Observer, read the details of the water rage incident.
