Forgive me if this is a dumb question, I am fairly new to saltwater fishing.  Is live bait legal?  I can find anything about it in the regs.

Blue shark fishing: young hippie with slight leg wound, just wrap mono around torso leaving treble hooks dangle by feet. Then troll ever so slowly so hippie trashes about in water attracting predators.

  I live in Bellingham so I would have no shortage of bait.

Greenling for lingcod, maybe herring for salmon.

I know people use live herring for salmon somtimes but i dont really like to... they tend to be really soft and come off easy

It is legal,but only if the bait comes from the water that it is to be used in.No gold fish or other introduced species.

I dont think fresh water fish would last long in salt water.
