A man who went out fishing on his boat after a big night drinking ended up being charged by police with drink-driving.

Water police were performing patrols of Sunshine Coast boat ramps when they stopped the 27-year-old as he was returning to the ramp at Fishermans Road around 11am.

They breath-tested the man and he allegedly showed a positive reading.

He was then taken to the police station, where he was charged with drink-driving.

The man told officers he had quite a huge night drinking the night before going out fishing.

Water police also stopped a 22-year-old man in a boat on the Noosa River over the weekend for a random breath test.

Police then searched him and his boat and allegedly found an amount of cannabis and smoking utensils, which led to him being charged.

Boaties should remember that traffic regulations and other laws still apply and will be enforced while out on the water.

Tom foolery goes too far

Police recently received information about two males who were allegedly throwing milk crates around in the street and causing damage to buildings in Mooloolaba.

Officers who went to the scene saw that a light was damaged.

They then conducted patrols of the area and ended up chasing and catching two suspects.

The pair were charged with willful damage and public nuisance offences.
