It is extremely important for MDNR record keeping that all net related incidents be reported to the commercial fisheries division by calling the RAP hotline (800-292-7800). If possible, record the GPS location, time, weather, sea conditions, and the presence and type of any flags, buoys, floats or other net markings. It is against the law to tamper with nets or net markings. S&S Fisheries have invited anyone who has questions or needs more information about their operation to call them or come by their business location. Commercial fishing contact info:
