Any live bait fishers???

If a muskie takes the walleye, can you then catch another one to
replace it? Is that culling?

I use live Bream about 3 fingers in size and hook them right behind the
dorsal fin so they can swim around like an injured bait fish.

It is legal to use game fish for bait as long as you catch them
legally.... no traps or nets, just a pole, bobber, and bait.

It is easy to float a live bait around, but I am unconvinced it
produces more bites. I have actually had one floating around while I
fished with a plastic worm and the plastic out produced the live bait.
May have just been an accident.


Here in Wisconsin, it is legal to use gamefish and panfish as livebait, but
there are certain stipulations. If the fish you're using for bait is
subject to a size limit, it must meet that (ie, a 15 inch walleye for muskie
bait), it has to be from the same body of water you're fishing (no
transporting to a different lake) and it counts toward your daily bag limit.
Again, using walleyes as an example, if you started out walleye fishing,
then decided to go muskie fishing, you better not have five walleyes in your
livewell and one on the hook as bait because you're now one fish over the
limit!

LOL, I have no idea. I suppose it would be, providing a game warden could
prove you had a walleye on as bait initially. That might be a bit hard to
do, although these Wisconsin wardens are pretty tricky and high tech.
