Well as a retailer of bait I DONT like this it all. (1) it will be harder to get bait and we already have issues with this at certain times of the year and the trappers who are out side of the proposed zones will on longer be able to make a good living supplying all us retailers bait.. , (2) anglers who do purchase enough bait to go out fishing for a couple weeks up to graham or buy pounds of leeches should not have to discard any bait after a expiration date. We stamp the back of our business cards aswell with the date and how many doz were purchased for americans so ii guess we will do the same for everyone now? if you buy bait today and have a receipt and you end up not going fishing until two weeks from now why should you have to toss it? it doesn't make any difference for invasive species. our trappers check there delivery over before they deliver for any invasive species, we then again check it at the shop on delivery. and we check are tanks over and over again because the last thing we would want is MNR coming in and finding something that should not be in there. if bait comes from outside of the zone and is followed with proper delivery and inspection by our shops there is no reason to make it harder for bait shops & anglers, The trappers who have been doing this for years for a living will be affected the most by this from the get go and the bait shops will feel the ripple effect next and so on. So if i miss understood anything in the 40 pages that i tried to sum up in a paragraph please let me know thx adam

Being a bait retailer and harvester, it was a very difficult read. We will not be able to bring in bait from other BMZ., which means that there could very well be a bait shortage in our area. Bait harvesters will not be allowed to harvest from natural Brook Trout lakes, which is where a majority of bait in this area comes from. Time to read this for a third time. See what else I can get out of this. Bruce

PERSONAL HARVEST MNRF is proposing that personally harvested bait may not be transported beyond the waterbody where it was caught. (i.e., no iverland transport), with the following exception. In Bait Management Zones A,B,C,and D, personally harvested bait may be moved beyond the waterbody where it was caught, provided that the angler possesses the appropriate documentation allowing the overland transport and the bait stays within the BMZ where it was harvested. Documentation may be in the form of either a personal harvest licence or a personal log. Bruce

Call Peter Eisenbach. His number is 767-8813. He is on Tom's Road and would be the only guy I would take my motor to. Tell him Adrian recommended him.
