Baitfish

So before I email the DEC I figure ill try here... If I catch a bluegill in irondequoit and then take it to the river to catfish illegal? I know you cant transport between different bodies of water but aren't they both connected so I mean wouldn't that technically be the same body of water?

You can't use the bluegill for bait because it has a limit. We used to use bluegills baby bluegills for perch Oneida Lake. We were informed by the warden one day that we couldn't use them anymore because there was a limit on them

You can use them same day as long as you count them towards your daily limit you can transport within the transportation corridor along the lake. Fallfish chunks also work very well for cats

Perch Jerk, I know for 100% certain you can use them as long as they count towards your limit, you either got a not so nice game warden or one that just didn't know the rules... Ive cut up blow gill in front of one before... And thanks ifishy!

Only pass on what I was told by the man in green and I'm not going to argue with them
