Somebody tell Mr. Bman using bream is illegal.....!

I was saying its easier to keep a bream in the aquarium! Not for bait!

Years ago (late '70s?) I knew a guy that had a whole wall in his living room covered with biiig bass he took out of Lake Jackson using live shiners. He was kind of a friend of a friend of a friend, think I only ever met him twice. Once was at his house. He used a cane pole and dough balls to catch wild shiners before he went bass fishing. Said store bought shiners weren't worth a damn because they were too small and died too quick. The wild ones were tougher. He also said shiners up to 12" long weren't too big.

That sounds a lot like Baileys Dad.....Mr. Eaton.

I am pretty sure that using bream as bait is not illegal providing you catch the bream in the same body of water.

I have heard that in some states, including Georgia, that it is legal to use bream as bait if they were caught on hook and line. I do wonder what the facts are about bream as bait in Florida.

I thought it sounded like Baily's dad too... But my dad says he taught Mr Eaton everything he knows

I think I get it that "Any game fish taken by these methods [ nets, seines, traps] must be released immediately." means that bream, a game fish, can be used as bait by the angler who caught them on hook and line only; right?
