I stand corrected, you can use live bait on CSP if you caught it in CSP.
Sorry, but this is not quite right either. I think the provision you are citing is " The holding of any live baitfish not taken in Cold Stream Pond is prohibited.". Many lakes have this provision. It refers to storing live bait in the lake (usually by bait dealers) in live wells, bait boxes, etc. You can use live bait caught elsewhere. You just can't store it in the lake. Here are a couple of threads that discuss this rule:https://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=343580.msg3650701#msg3650701https://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=337692.msg3580330#msg3580330
Another question on SeaMonkey's post - any fish that isn't going to be release must be killed immediately. In PA, I will often place my fish on a stringer and then hold the fish in a separate hole so they are alive. This allows me the option to release them later in case I decide not to keep them. For example, sometimes I am fishing and catch a nice crappie, perch or gill early on but then nothing afterwards that I want to keep. Rather than keep just one perch or one gill, I'll release it. If the fish are on a stringer (lip-hooked), they are lively, I can put them back down the hole even many hours later. Obviously, any fish that is on my stringer is legally sized and there are never more than my daily creel limit on the stringer at any time. If I kill the fish immediately, then clearly I cannot release it. Is a stringer OK or must I make the decision to keep/release as soon as I catch the fish?
I'm thinking a good Maine guide would be to your benefit
My depth marker (sounder) is painted. I'm guessing it is OK but I'll check with the bait shop when I am there unless someone else thinks otherwise. It looks like this: https://www.fish307.com/sounder-1-oz/
Shouldn't we mention the unpublished S codes also?S 42- If you are making a trip longer than 483 miles and have a child attending the University of Maine system you can't actually stand on the lake, you have to be above it.S 42.5 If said student has a GPA less than 2.87 you can't be above ice.S 57 You can buy bait in Lincoln and use it at Upper Cold Stream Pond only if that bait was caught between 1:14 and 1:19 Saturday. AM or PM is fineS 62 Jack Traps, K drills, and Ions are not allowed.S 64 Hooks are not allowedS 65 Line is not allowedS 67 S67 is the one that trips most everyone up. BE CAREFUL
