[dadstacklebox]

 Brooktrout! best bait in state, when your done for the day, simply let them go about anywear you want!
  What do you think!!!!!!!

Boy, does that bring back memories.
My dad used to use trout about 50 years ago on a remote lake up in Quebec.
Best bait on that particular lake.

we fished stripers in a lake in Ga.last year and used 6" to 8" rainbows for bait.BB

Don't joke around like that, It's coming you know.

That would stink, I fished with my own bait all year. What a savings.

 I feel sorry for you guys............

It might just drive more dealers to give it up. And push the price up (Part of the plan maybe?), Don't take my word for it though, just check with Vermont .

Yeah it's coming, unfortunately we all know where that's going, really bites, no pun intended.

It sure sucks here, no smelt unless you catch them and keep at lake.can't truck them and prices are steep.BB

Have they hired the certified bait police yet? Or just another on the long list of task's for the current warden service. Enforcement must be a nightmare. 8)

 I'm not joking around dude. If one of those pike has vhs, well that would be it for catching your own. The trout for bait, well I thought that was funny untill I was told how many small trout get killed each year bye the state. Why couldn't you use them as bait, the scientist asked. They were raised in a clean hatchery and would make great bait. Kind of makes sense when you think about it. Still would feel odd using a 10" trout to catch a pike though. I think people would buy them, just to release them into the wild though.

or eat them

Pretty sure there was a guy at Sebago using 6" brookies for togue back back a couple weeks ago for the derby.  Heard he had them just lying in a plastic bag.  Assumption there, but who keeps 6" brookies in a plastic bag while fishing for togue?

[rude the dude]

I know a someone who has a camp on Kingsbury and goes up the little feeder brooks and grabs a few 4-6 inch natives before heading out, I've seen some of pictures of fish he gets out of there    and he swears the splake can't leave em alone. But I don't really know him though, that well,

Not yet, wardens job, I have not been checked yet this year,but you have to carry a receipt with the date and lake written on it,once the bait is on the lake you can't leave with it.got to have a bait box at every lake you fish or dump it.BB
