Title: Baiting question
Post by: bowNarrow on June 18, 2016, 08:19:19 PM: If i use corn or maggots on a artificial lure is that considered useing bait? The regs say if i voluntarily use lures i can release fish until a limit is caught. Does really say clearly in the regs

Unless the bait added some kind of attractive motion to the lure, it probably doesn't help anyways. Scent would be as or more effective in attracting the fish. :twocents:

If I'm not mistaken this state considers scent to be bait. :bash:
