sell to fellow catfisherman, i can fillet and scale the carp/buffalo but i was thinking of 2.50 for one sandwhich bag of sliced fillets of carp/buffalo, or 3.50 for a regular fillet, and 7 bucks for both fillets, shad will be much cheaper as i get them by the dozens

How ever you decide to do it, There are a lot of fella's complaining about limited bait in the winter.

So it at least seasonally would be a decent thought.

They're not selling it as bait. They're marketing it towards people that eat those fish. It just happens that catfish like it too.

If you're catching fish "left and right" you don't have too much bait.

Just say you need to get rid of your pet fish for a small rehoming fee like on Craigslist. Jp

Try selling the ziplock bags and giving away the bait or taking "donations".

If you get caught the Game Warden will give you a piece of paper with a fine associated with it, it's not a ticket though, just a slip of paper with a fine associated. That fine will cost you a whole heck of a lot more than that $38 bait dealers license! smile

Is that the one that comes with the brown (sometines greenish brown) organic attractant already in it Tom? I bet you'd make Stevie a great deal on those.

it will not hold up in court, they'd have to prove that i was selling it and not giving it away, or keeping my freezer stocked for the fishing i do myself, and w/out a sale list/receipt and nobody coming forward to say they have "bought"<-----key word from me, instead of donating the money to me to send to a charitable orginization per say they have absolutely nothing to fight with at that point

Remember, they only have to prove beyond a "reasonable doubt" - I'm assuming most people would not have a doubt that you were selling the fish as bait.

Stevie everybody knows you won't get busted. You have to actually catch fish to get busted for selling it.
