glen Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I heard that VHS may be what is killing the carp in Scugog. The use of affected bait fish may put VHS in other lakes. I want to make some catfish bait and i don't want to transfer the VHS. Does dead bait fish still carry VHS??? What if i salt it or freeze it??? Thanks for any help.

Terry Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 it's the cost, who would spend 800 bucks on a burner...for blu-ray.not the MNR..LOL I read somewhere that it was only live minnows, so I would think salted would be fine..not that an opinon not a fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aniceguy Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 the virus can be transmitted via frozen fish. The only way to ensure its not transfered is to not in fact move fish and secondly to pasturize any product. VHS while a virulent virus would not be the cause IMHO. Its more likely a virus that carp are highly suceptable to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't take any chances, only use bait that came from the same waterway. Better safe then sorry. Besides catfish will eat lots of other things besides minnows. Try Jumbo Shrimp.
