No you can use dead frozen bait, only one hook point with bait.
From what I read, you can only use frozen herring in the CT and Merrimack Rivers.
In re-reading my post, it looks like I was referring to MA fishing laws. I don't think the Merrimack runs thru NH, lol. Sorry for the confusion.
The Merrimack River? It most certainly does run through NH! From the Mass border all the way to the lakes region! (Franklin NH)
Some lakes, such as Lake Francis and the Connecticut Lakes restrict the use of yellow perch as bait. That would be the only restriction I’m aware of on dead bait.
