Re: Catching minnows for bait.
I was told using canned cat food is illegal.. Well it is meat.. And if it's allowed people would use tins as berley logs
If I'm not fishing, I'd rather be fishing!

Have a look at the regs...guessing your source of info may be confused with saltwater regs.BIG GAV wrote:I was told using canned cat food is illegal.. Well it is meat.. And if it's allowed people would use tins as berley logs

It's perfectly legal as Jim said, you are not allowed to use meat but pretty sure most cat food is fish based

Does it actually say that in the regs regarding fresh water? Because if it does, there will be a lot of people breaking the law!Fishsniper wrote:...., you are not allowed to use meat...

No it doesn't in freshwater Jim,if it did,every second crayfisher would have been done a hundred times over,not to mention all the kids using meat & cotton to catch yabby's.Our jails would be full.
You cant use mammal blood or offal in salt water,but think you can still put a t bone on & cast it out.

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them
