I asked the guys what they caught em on and they told me creek minnows.

Hell, that's a violation. Shad/minnows are prohibited on Cedar Creek.....

Heck if it's legal then you have every right to enjoy it without any concerns on what others think, at least thats how I look at it.

I have been fishing since I was old enough to hold a rod and reel and have used live and dead bait along with artificials all my life...it's fine.

Anyone who starts the live bait is cheating or it doesn't take any skill argument is way off IMO. Kids, older folks and anyone who wants to do it enjoys it so go for it. Legal fishing is legal fishing.

I agree totally...if its legal then it doesn't matter what others think. I don't use live bait at Cedar or anywhere...but have no problem with others doing so...why would anyone if its legal?

BTW, I'm glad you released the toad...way to go on the catch!
