Great offer Jackmaster but I will pass, good looking out and thank you

I will look into the Asian market idea

I heard about a guy who used cut plug rainbows with good success

That can get you a ticket. trout are not allowed for bait. I'm told they make great gator bait also but have never tried it.

I have asked this question specifically to the WDFW and the enforcement division told me its perfectly fine to use them for bait, infact they said it makes great bait for all sorts of species of fish and crab. What they don't want is to see it wasted !! I am specifically talking about planted rainbows not native ones, and I am also talking about the ones that are planted in ponds for kid fishing so there may be a difference then the ones planted in lakes and reservoirs !!

In fact I will be taking 3 kids to the PA derby tomorrow to get their limit of rainbows to use in May for the halibut opener !!

There is only one way in my book, get a nice bait, live or plastic, in front of their face and they will not reject it 
bottom line!!
Ling and halibut!

Maybe I need to find one of them trout fish farms where I can buy big 3 lb trout so I can use them for oversize bait. As hard as it's been to catch shad the last few years in the hi dirty flows this might be a good option that will allow me more time fishn for sea monsters.

Jackmaster,     if the offer is still open for copper let me know via pm. I'll take em off your hands.

A guide in AK gets shad shipped to him for halibut fishing. Exellent bait.

Salmon bellys are great bait as well, but DAMN good smoked and ate!!

If you guys are looking for a great place to catch live herring and have the time , there is a public dock out on the east end of Fox Island. It is only out a little bit into the water but it is right on the narrows and huge balls of herring run through there all day long. Best of luck to ya.

Just Updating this thread, not wanting to start a new one. 

Anyone know of any reliable herring jog spots, not from a boat in the Puget Sound?  Seattle area specifically?
Any help appreciated.
