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

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?Charles wrote:"Use of Fish for Bait
