Mr D McLaughlin from New York, North Tyneside, was fined £100 and ordered to pay £200 costs after admitting catching four undersized lobsters at Seaton Sluice while John Brown of Amble was fined £115 and £200 costs for landing 27 undersized animals at Amble last October.

Steven Marston, of North Seaton, admitted landing 23 undersized lobsters and was fined £115 and £200 costs. Robert Baxter, from Blyth denied obstructing a fishery officer but was found guilty, fined £60 and ordered to pay £200 costs.
