Manitowoc/Two Rivers Trap Nets - 2017

The commercial trap nets are back in the lake again. Please refresh your knowledge of the markings and how to avoid them. Keep wire cutters close at hand to cut lines and down rigger cables if your gear becomes entangled in the net or one of the many anchor lines. WI Sea Grant is your one stop shop for trap net safety information: http://bit.ly/Trap_Net_Safety, and trap net maps, buoy locations, and depth: http://bit.ly/Trap_Net_Coordinates. I’ll provide updates on locations throughout the fishing season.

Trap net update. The remaining trap nets were pulled in the morning of June 30. There are no trap nets in the Manitowoc/Two Rivers area. There probably won't be any more set this year, but I will update if that changes.
