bait regulations

Bait regulations govern how anglers can use certain fish or marine life to attract and catch other species. These rules help protect fish populations and ecosystems by limiting the types, quantities, and methods of bait. Regulations may specify which bait are legal, restrict use in certain areas or times, and require proper handling or permits. The goal is to prevent overharvesting, reduce the spread of invasive species, and promote sustainable fishing practices. Always check local regulations before fishing to ensure compliance and conservation of aquatic resources.
