[quote carToon]Not only is it illegal to put the fish into another body of water; it's also illegal to use fish from one body of water as bait in another body of water.[/quote]
[cool][#0000ff]Not true. Carp meat and several species of minnows can be used almost anywhere bait is legal...regardless of where they were caught. Perch meat is legal in many waters, even if the perch were caught elsewhere.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]About the only time you are prohibited from using bait caught in other waters is if the water from which the bait was taken is on the list of waters under quarantine for quagga mussels or other organisms. Electric Lake is a good example. It is full of redside shiners but you can no longer harvest them to use for bait elsewhere.[/#0000ff]
