Where can I use purchased bait that is of the species on the Susceptible Fish Species list?
certified disease-free bait can be used anywhere and provides the maximum flexibility for use; b) uncertified bait from VHS Free Management Area waters can be used anywhere in the state; c) uncertified bait from Surveillance Management Area waters can be used in Surveillance and Positive Management Areas, but not in VHS Free Management Area waters; and d) uncertified bait from Positive Management Area waters can only be used in the Positive Management Area. The location that you can use the bait should be clearly marked on your receipt and if not, be sure to ask before leaving the bait shop. The bait shops will receive an information package to assist anglers on the locations that bait can be used from their shop.
