"GETTING READY - Fishermen in most ports along Lake Erie are preparing nets and heading out into the lake. One crew hard at work, getting ready to head out is shown loading trap nets which are used to catch perch. These nets will be set along the shorelines. Working at the back of the boat as the nets reel off the truck at dock side, are from left: Rudy Krause, Harry Cree and Mel Fisher. They work for William Krause Fisheries Ltd., Point Pelee. "
