Your argument is weak Peter, as your only going on Opinions,
Ray,
It is not my opinion but Legal Opinion, do you know what that is?
If not then please read this:

And pay particular attention to Section 4 The Law On Navigation and then read APPENDIX B - Counsel’s Opinion and the Law
Extract of Advice from Counsel re Public Right of Navigation (PRN)
Further Legal Opinion can be found here from a specialist Fishing and Water Law Firm of Solicitors here in England:

Regarding your submission that "they will carry on" then please read Phil's posts regarding what happens in his area having first established with the Police that a crime has been committed.
For further deference on Crime Codes and the legal obligation for the Police to react and attend and investigate then please also read:
New Police code for Theft of Fishing Rights to make reporting crime easier - The Angling Trust
After having read, learned and inwardly digested the above, (i.e. with an informed view) then please come back and tell us if it is really so "weak"
