Can I go fishing in Hongze Lake during the fishing ban?

Fishing is not allowed during the fishing ban. According to the law, those who fish in violation of the provisions of the closed fishing season will be confiscated of their catches and illegal income and fined up to 50,000 yuan. If the perpetrator constitutes a crime, he will be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law.

Legal objectivity:

Article 340th of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) violates the laws and regulations on the protection of aquatic resources, and if the circumstances are serious, those who fish aquatic products in closed fishing seasons or areas or use prohibited tools and methods shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or fines. Article 48 of the Fisheries Law: In the course of maritime law enforcement, if anyone fishes in violation of the provisions of the no-fishing zone or the no-fishing period, or fishes with prohibited fishing gear and fishing methods, but the decision on administrative punishment cannot be made and implemented on the spot according to legal procedures, he may temporarily detain his fishing license, fishing gear or fishing boat first, and then make and implement the decision on administrative punishment according to law after he returns to Hong Kong.
