Re: Buying dead shiners

So if I read that last part correctly, does that mean that bait sellers will now be able to sell salted minnows as well? Yes I believe bait sellers will be able to sell salted minnows, but customers are only allowed they 120 baitfish limit. Back in the day I believe the amount of salted minnows you...

Re: Buying dead shiners

Yes as of January 1st, 2024 you can transport perserved bait between BMZs, but note based on the law FROZEN does not count as preserved.... "Beginning January 1, 2024, changes to rules related to the possession, use and transport of bait (baitfish or leeches) include allowing: A person to trans...
