More nets found
I got a phone call this afternoon saying the DNR was bringing in some more illegal nets they pulled from the bay. I ran down to the Escanaba harbor to have a look. The weight of all that illegal gear stacked on the side of their boat bottomed it out in the launch. The nets were found "adrift" near where the guys were busted this past winter for illegal netting. Apparently, a fisherman snagged into them and reported their location. You wouldn't believe the smell with all those dead fish in there! I told all the officers they earned their pay today, having to deal with all that mess.
