PLEASE dont try them here! Unless they are approved and legal to use. There are MANY reasons why introducing non-native species is bad even in saltwater!!! If they have a tolerance to saltwater for 2 hours that could be enough time for them to come off a hook and find themselves a freshwater source to the ocean! Any parasites, bacteria, etc they may carry (that are harmless to them) could be fatal to one of our native species.
If you are thinking of using them I beg you to consider the potential consequence that mother nature would have to pay because you had to cathch a few more bass.  |
Hey Jenn,
I am thinking of using them but would never do so unless it was legal. I have read about other species that have had catastrophic impact on out local waters. As with most fishermen, I simply am always on the lookout for new ways to catch fish. Hopefully the Black Salty will get approval someday and will present us anglers with a new angle on catching fish.
I wonder how long they have been legal in Delaware. I betcha the stripers down there are feasting on them...
