Looks like someone was messing with mother nature and came up with another way for us to spend money.

I think Scott used to sell those at Jerry's. It's my understanding they did not live long in salt water, and were expensive. I was also told the trout would annialate them!

We are not permitted to use live bait in freshwater, unless the live bait has been caught (by us) from the lake, or river we are fishing.
There are massive fines for transporting fish from one lake/river to another, for use as livebait.

This is to stop the spread of diseases, or the accidental stocking of areas where certain species are not resident at the moment.

Is the "black salty" a known species, I have never heard of a fish by that name ?

Five pounds of inshore-size Black Salty baitfish (approximately 12-1/2 dozen baits) can be bought for $75, shipping included.
That's about $2.88 a piece!

I think I'll stick to the free pinfish and pigfish! :thumbup:
They work just fine! :thumbup:

12 1/2 dozen = 150, so that would be .50 each. The offshore 6 1/4 dozen 75 baits = $1 each.
