Weeds Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hey everybody, I have a few questions regarding dead baits, as I have never really tried using them before. I have read the regs (2006-2007) and am curious if I can use something I might buy at the supermarket, frozen sardines or mackerel for example. It's not one of the species they mention in the guidlines but I kind of figure they are referring only to live bait with their limitations, as they make no mention of chicken livers, bacon or any of the other strange baits I have heard of people using. It would just be more convienant for me to occasionally hit the supermarket or China Town than speciality bait shops. Thanks I have also heard a rumour that according to the new regs that: "Only Live or Dead Baitfish less than 5.1 inches in length can be used as bait. This is for all of SE Ontario (Zone 18) with the exception of the Ottawa River (Zone 12). I guess that wouldn't effect me but I imagine others won't be too happy.

Sunny Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 No Toronto is not in Zone 18. It only runs to the Ottawa River on the East Side and on the West side ends around Trenton, Stirling area. Toronto is Zone 16 inland. And if you are fishing Lake Ontario it falls in Zone 20.
