Renting a Panga, thats a good idea that I hadnt thought of! I'm guessing that I should bring my own gear?

That's really going to depend on the company you book with, some have boat rods. But it's always nice to use your own gear.

Id say DO NOT ask to pay fines on the spot. It may be how it is, but its not the way their system is supposed to work. You are essentially bribing your way out. Its called mordida and is corruption plain n simple.
