Thanks partner, that brings it into perspective for me. [cool]
I was lost there for a second. I know around here, we catch our live bait in the place we're fishing; atleast everyone I know does. When I fish for flatheads, I spend a good 2 hours fishing for bream and crappie first. Then, when i'm done, any left overs get put back into the river. I never import bait. I've always felt that if you have to import bait, you're wasting your time anyhow. The fish are where the bait are, and if you can't find the bait, most of the time you're not going to find the fish either. [
] Of course, the ocean is a whole different monster, and i'm sure that article was writen exclusively for freshwater anglers. But even if you did take one bream from a river to another local river, they all pretty much connect anyhow. There really is no risk of what is mentioned in the above article in my area; thank goodness.
The moral to the story is, DON'T IMPORT BAIT FROM ANOTHER BODY OF WATER!!! You might be screwing up the fishing![cool]
