Illegal. Bait cave usually has a good supply. When we fish michigan waters. Put in at state launch site down the road . By the way are you doing your fishing excursion this year. Count me in for 3.
So if I launch in Michigan and fish in Ohio I need to buy bait in Ohio?
Strange law I never knew about lol. I get the law but how could they ever enforce it?
Ask for your receipt for proof.
I've heard it happening.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH OHIO ADMINISTRATIVE CODE
(OAC)1501: 31-13-04:
It is unlawful to sell as bait, or use as bait, any fish or aquatic
insect not already established in waters of Ohio over which the
Wildlife Chief has control. Further, it is unlawful for any person
to release any fish or aquatic insect into waters of the state, or
waters under control of the Division of Wildlife, from which it
did not originate without first obtaining permission from the
Wildlife Chief.
What about Goldies ? And what do you do with your left over ones?
If emerald shiners are already in Ohio waters how is it illegal?
If I have leftover goldies and not fishing the next day I dump them on land at the dock never in the lake.Quote:

Sorry, wont be able to do it this year. Having both knees replaced sept 6. Hopefully next year but son is still interested. Was a great time last year.
Who the heck is the Ohio Wildlife Chief? What does this person have as "control"? So I won't "use as bait or sell as bait any fish or aquatic insect".... without permission??Quote:

The key word is: " not already established in the waters of Ohio"Quote:

I would imagine this person could make your day have some new horizons under the right circumstances. Seeing that he is a former wildlife officer and supervisor for the division.
Ended up with 88 sat and 84 Sunday today on goldiesQuote:
