Unless I'm interpreting it wrong, sounds like minnow receipt no longer required if bought from licensed bait store? Let me know if I'm misunderstanding it.
Here's the quoted text;
BAIT - Anglers who purchase bait from a commercial bait dealer are no longer required to possess a sales receipt while fishing. All other bait regulations are still in place.
Here's the link for "new for 2017"
Fishing Regulations / Fishing / KDWPT - KDWPT
You are correct. When I bought some minnows last Saturday from Minnesota Bait and Tackle in KC, KS. they said it was not required for them to give me a receipt any more.
Well that is good was kind of a crazy rule anyway never enforced that I know of.
Never got checked one time!!
I thought it was silly, along with having to separate fish by anglers in Missouri.
There's a semi-private pond in Wichita off of MacArthur and I-235 owned by Boeing Employees Association, they checked for my minnow receipt every time I was there. Probably because they wanted me to buy minnows from their tanks. That place had some great fishing 5-7 years agoand as strict as the regulations were (and they were enforced) it has likely only gotten better. I went there for the crappie, as a military member they would allow me to buy a day pass. The daily creel limit was 6 crappie atleast 10", we would regularly catch 60-100 crappie each and leave withour 6 fish between 12"-16" each, we never left without our limit of crappie and only kept a fish under 12" if it was not going to survive. I'm babbling, anyway, glad to hear they lifted that ridiculous rule.
