New Baitfish Regs for Certain Transportation Corridors

[FISHFORPIKE]

From the NY DEC adopted June 29th this year.  Anyone going to benefit from these changes.  If I read the new regulations right, they have about made certified, or other bait regulation enforcement in these areas impossible to enforce.  Maybe I'm missing something; but it seems as though, hypothetically, I can harvest bait from the St. Lawrence River near my home, keep it, transport it to anywhere within that corridor (actually any of the corridors) and use it.  The DEC would have no way to verify if I was being legitimate.
So the way I see it, any baitfish regulations within these corridors (other than species) are about useless?

 From what I've read up on this i think your statement is right. It's going to be very very hard for them to prove you didn't catch your own bait. Going to make people think twice about paying the high bait prices if they can store it and keep using there own caught baits.

from what i read its going to be impossible to enforce but good news for fisherman. wish they would extend the receipt time for bait though past 10 days.

Exactly - the point!  How are they going to know if you purchased that bait or trapped it yourself; if you are fishing within one of the corridors?  If you are referring to the general reg of 10 days for the state?  Good luck on getting that changed - it took an act of god to get from 7 to 10 days.  A lot can happen to that bait as it gets older - probably will contract some kind of disease, right there in your bait bucket 
They made that 10 day thing to make enforcement possible.  Then they turn around and do this corridor thing that basically wipes out the ability to enforce the bait regs.  Personally, I think they should just believe and trust in the sportsman; and make the reg so you can not use personally harvested, or uncertified, baitfish anywhere but in the body of water from which it came.  Do away with the overland transportation thing, cause that's what this corridor thing is all about.
AND the whole baitfish thing would be a lot easier to swallow if they could provide some evidence that it is saving any fish, other than in theory.  RANT - RANT, RANT
