The Manitowoc Unit is also continuing their supporting the Cops & Bobbers program conducted by the Sheriff’s Department.  This is a program is to create stronger relationships between targeted youth and the Sheriff’s Department, improving community awareness.  They continue collecting fishing equipment at their meetings for the rest of the year.  Over 15 rods have been donated. They are mainly looking for are rods and reels but items such as bobbers would also be helpful (NO bait caster reels please).  Gently used equipment is welcome.  All meetings are open to the public.
