Live shad for sale

[Reelxtremestriperfshing]

Ok fellas. It is legal to sell them checked with fish and wildlife. I can keep shad alive for months and can help customer as well. In this what do u think

QUOTE=rickhise;543531]I go through 1000s spring an fall. Shad have to be the tenderest live bait going. Lots of work, throw in your customer not being able to keep them healthy. FYI for those using LB they buy your buying shiners, a tuff durable bait,
FYI, critical once you have em. A few dead ones in the live well will result in faster demise of the others.
Aerator and fresh in coming water is a must once temps go above 60's

More info on maintaining shad fish an wildlife regulate the number your allowed in cages, fact or talk dock you may need to research that one, Never been an issue but another tool in their box.[/QUOTE]

The key to that statute is.... "Commercially harvested" and what that exactly means, it's fairly open to interpretation. It could mean if you harvest them with the intent to make them commercial (for sale $$). Or It could mean the methods used and the scale of those methods.

There is also the rest of that statute:

Section 2. Legal sources of live bait. (1) Live bait may be sold by a person possessing a valid:

(2) Asiatic clams may be taken and sold as live bait by a person possessing a valid commercial musseling license.

(3) Live commercially harvested shad, herring, or Asian carp shall not be transported and sold as live bait.

I had always heard that you were not legally allowed to transfer fish from different sources of water. Other than that you were ok to do what you want with your fish as long as you abide by the rules and regulations set by KFDW

Legality aside... I think it would make money if located in the right place. We need a "striper soup" on this lake...

[Duayne]

10 a dozen is very fair. Providing the proper water makes it an even larger value.

[Dobe Mejuwa]
