What are you talking about? Fresh? Salt? Specific waters?

it's in the 2019-20 book. A friend just sent me a pic of the page showing the new regulation. page 58 http://www.eregulations.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/19ALAB-LR2.pdf300 fine per bait fish is what i heard for the fine. it reads: A common practice for anglers is to capture their bait before fishing for their preferred sport fish. However today, with the new threats that we now face with the introduction of many invasive aquatic nuisance species, this practice must be controlled to better protect Alabama’s valuable aquatic and fisheries resources. As a result, a new regulation has been adopted by the Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) to restrict the transport of live wild-caught bait fish between the public freshwater lakes, rivers, reservoirs and drainage basins within Alabama. This regulation only pertains to the transport of baitfish that are alive. Dead baitfish that are being held on ice or preserved in some fashion for transport to another location or waterbody are not included in this regulation.

while the right hand was passing baiting on the hunting side, the left hand was taking it away on the fishing end.

Does that mean I cant buy minnows at the store and haul them 1/2mile to the lake and fish with them? That sure sounds like what it means. Thats way I read it

You couldn't go to Wilson and catch shad below Wheeler Dam, and then transport them to fish at Bear Creek or Smith or Lay. Or catch something at Lay and transport it elsewhere.
"wild-caught bait" doesn't discriminate. If you caught 20 bluegills or sunfish on Guntersville for catfishing on Beadle Creek in Winston County -- and even if Beadle Creek has bluegills or sunfish -- by this wording, it's still illegal to transport.
Blueback herring got dumped into Smith by bucket biologists who thought it would be fine. They didn't know about or care about how it might impact the lake, tributaries or downstream. Happens often. Chit gets sideways after that and then people yell about how "this is hurting my ..." whatever they want to be hurt about. Crappie. Bass. Can't find shad. Yell and holler.
$300 per sounds fine to me. Hunters yell all the time about how deer poachers need to be put into prison. That's extreme but they don't care, don't know the difference in prison or jail, and want it to happen. $300 is extreme but it'll work.
Seems a bit out of left field, though. Who's moving enough live baitfish in the state to warrant this change and possible fine?

I don’t really see a problem with this personally. I’m not gonna go throw my bait net at the Alabama river then try and transport them live all the way to lake Jordan, I would just catch them in the net at lake Jordan.... but that’s just me my situation is much different than others
There is 2 different high fence. 1 small and one big! Mine was free range in the big pen and was not a breeder buck. Why does it have to be twisted around??

The biggest impact will be on the stripe fishermen. While most if not all waters have gizzard shad in them, that doesn’t mean you can catch them in a net in all of them. There are a handful of dam spillways where these can be caught and where prob 90% of the baits used come from.
Once again , as is usual with the state, the wording is crap. How will they know WHERE you caught the bait and if they catch you catching the bait, how will they know where you plan to fish with them?

True, buzzard, about the striper guys.
As for the wording, it's clear as mud so as to be vague enough to be understood. Got it?

I always buy minnows at the bait shop or catch them on the lake im fishing anyway so I dont see an issue nothing changes for 99% of us. how many people actually go to one body of water to catch bait then load up and drive to another body of water to fish? I dont believe ive ever met one person that does that. how can they tell the difference from bait store bought vs wild anyway or prove you even caught them in a different location unless you run off at the mouth and tell on yourself. ive done it before
We will burn that bridge when we get there
