Title: Is live bait legal in saltwater?
Post by: Fishhunt223 on September 25, 2009, 05:18:28 PM: 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.
