I had an interesting conversation with a GW about using store bought mackerel for bait (I was using Noreigion mackerel). He said it was illegal because mackerel are gamefish. I told him that Texas only mentions king and Spanish mackerel as game fish or sets any type of regulation for. He said he needed to find out about it but suggested I keep the head just in case.

Yeah, here's a weird one for you. In Alaska, both pink salmon and chum salmon are considered as gamefish. But you can use either one as bait - either whole, or cut into pieces. But the other types of salmon may not be used for bait, except for the heads and 'trimmed carcasses'.

Fishing regulations are complicated enough to confuse the folks who are supposed to enforce those rules. Helps to keep a copy of the outdoor annual with you for reference in case of a dispute.

Can't catch them in any traps, except Toledo Bend. Can use them for bait, just have too catch them on Hook & Line..



They consider them a Gamefish, but have them under the Non Gamefish. No size or limit restrictions hammer

Complicated laws..... Hum...

Not to change the subject but when I was in Captains School there were some real strange laws I argued my point on. One I remember was on the final test. No vessel may be within 100 meters of another vessel unless underway. Obviously a typo but I had to agree to pass the test. That would mean boat ramps and marinas are full of law breakers! Lol!

I went to Arkansas for labor day and read up on their regulations. There is a daily limit for bluegill over 4". You can use them for bait, but any over 4" count towards your daily limit. They must really like their bluegills over there.

I think no on the crappie ribs since no game fish may be used as bait. Hu
