I understand that the non-availability or high price of native baits make us search for alternatives but think about the potential for problems with these Black Salties.

Thirty years ago someone said "I'm going to plant this pretty Kudzo in my backyard, what's the harm"

In the 1920's, someone said "Lets let these 10 Starlings fly around Central Park"

"This Water Hyacnth is so pretty" "There's too much Water Hyacnth, lets release some Nutria"

So, while they die in saltwater after a couple hours, in fresh water, given time and perhaps the perfect set of circumstances, they may completely decimate native populations. Ecosystems are balanced things and small things can cause problems.

The removal of wolves in Yellowstone Park in the 1940's led to the erosion of river banks and trout breeding problems.

Throw plugs, they die.

Actually Kudzo was planted by the highway depts to control erosion...
