Yep, sounds like a problem for this spring trying to troll cranks, push/pull jigs and long lining for crappie unless you can find these nets ahead of time as bad as it seems how they are currently marked in the previous posts. This will probably get fixed, but again, it's like pushing a rope until it gets fixed. Hopefully the nice looking marker flags are not real expensive if eventually the commercial fishermen have to purchase these for use to continue their operations. If not, most will get 'borrowed' to mark their nets unless there is a way to permanently identify the original purchaser of these markers. But, I'm sure a solution will be found.
