If a fish and game officer cannot till the difference between a store bought minnow and a wild minnow they do not merit having their job. We need to stop these stupid laws. They are not effective and are a waste of time. They do make the minnow suppliers a lot more money, they must of had a good lobby telling fish and game what they wanted so they could suck more money from the fisher folks. Just My Opinion. I am not buying minnow again until this law is changed to make more sense. I hope others will do the same.
I agree this is more about revinue than anything else. I have purchased more traps as the minnow count around here from the bait shop is not very good to begin with.
