I would like to oppose this bill. This bill will kill our fisheries and small businesses in the state. There are protocols in place to protect our waters from potential diseased imported bait fish. The government needs to stop trying to mess with the lively hood of so many people by taking away what we love to do. While you’re at it you should ban fishing in general. Also you should ban doe urine for hunting, and other attractants. Where does it end live bait doesn’t affect you. It’s all beach some Karen is sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong because fish have feelings. Bait shops rely on live bait to keep their business going. I just fished the Winni derby this past weekend and every bait dealer couldn’t keep enough bait on hand for the amount of anglers there was. You’re just gonna take all that revenue away from them. That’s only one weekend. This ridiculous that I’m even having to write trying to save live bait. Please use your better judgement and see how much negative I’m pack this is gonna bring to our state.
