I usually catch my own bait, frogs or crayfish, occasionally when I need/want them, but if there is substance for the MNR doing what they are doing I don't have any problem with it.
Forsure, we do not need anymore invasive species or diseases spreading to our natural resources such as gamefish which I'm sure as members of this forum we all hold dear to our hearts. If this means bait store owners suffering as a cost of these measures enforced by the MNR this year, this is the price to pay "we" must pay to sustain these important resources.
Without these resources or gamefish, baitstore owners would have nothing to sell in the first place. As with any business, store owners are going to have to adapt to changing business environments that every area of business encounter.
