Celebrate Trap Berth Day at the Punt Premises on June 1st at 11AM
Historically, June 1 is known as Trap Berth Day, marking the beginning of Trap Berth Season. Until recent decades, markers for cod trap fishing berths were dropped on this day at 12pm each year, signaling the start of the inshore fishing season. While this is no longer common practice, the beginning of this season still holds the hope of brighter weather and longer days.
Join the community for a celebration of coastal heritage, fishing culture, local stories, food, and music.
