type in are you allowed to use live minnows in Lake Logan ohio and this is what pops up also the marina stopped selling minnows

No, live minnows are not allowed on Lake Logan in Ohio because it is illegal to use any fish or aquatic insect as bait that is not already established in Ohio waters

 

I think that is crazy not allowing live minnows

 

Only thing that pops up for me is that you can’t use minnows not native to Ohio. The AI summary says you can use live minnows but the marina no longer sells them.

The lake Logan marina website states they no longer sell minnows but a bait store is located about 200 yards away. FAQs | Lake Logan Marina

You can net your own if you want.

I bought some from downs bait a couple years ago

 

LOL I asked the same question phased different and got a different answer yes you can if they meet certain requirements OMG what requirements a School diploma 😆😀

 

Minnow seine or minnow trap good to go!

 

I got one never used it but looks as if I'm gonna

 

Just make sure the minnows don’t have a lapel tag that says “if found, return to (an out of state address)”. 😂

 

I can't stop smiling good one

 

Where does this stuff come from? Been in Logan 31 years and never heard such silliness.

i know I was looking for bait shops besides Downs and I ran across that and I thought that can't be right found a few that said the same on the information highway and a few that said different The only way to settle it is flip a minnow in the water and if a game warden shows up you have your answer LOL

 

I never heard of this at all. I do know that ODW ask people not to dump unused minnows into the lake. Most bait shops get minnows from out of state, usually the Dakotas/Mn/ or Arkansas. All them have species not native to Ohio waters. Also, be careful when using minnows seined or trapped from small streams, some may be listed species that can't be used.

Exactly what I was waiting for.
Trapping or netting your own bait, from a lake or it's feeder creeks, SOMETIMES, just doesn't work.
Through the years, I've netted multiple baby bass, eyes, even northerns. I'm sure you guys have too!?
I've bought shiners up Erie, & had all of the above in my bucket.

Lesson learned,,,
We were down NC OBX. Tossing cast nets for mullet, glass minnows, whatever.
The MAN came along & checked everyones license & bait buckets. He said that the Wife & I were OK & moved on.
Then, he checked the residents fishing & netting mullet next to us & quickly had a SPANKY! We could easily hear them carry on, 50 yds away.
The warden went to his truck & started writing tickets.
Turns out, the older resident couple had 2 dead black bass fingerlings floating in their bucket of mullet.

After everything settled, they packed up to leave & told us that the fines & court costs will be close to $600!
'Protected species' out of season & DEAD, & they killed them.

SO,,, If 'SOMEONE' wants to be a major PITA about an out-of-season, or an 'invasive' species in your bait bucket,,,,,,,,,, ;>)

 

A minnow is a minnow by any other name a little Shakespeare for those who are refined or like me Un refined

 

Unrefined - uncultured. Uncouth. Unfree of impurities. Fined once but never fined again. 😎

 

I personally think it is Bull crap to write a ticket to someone over a fingerling in a bucket when by all probability they didn't know what they had. It can be an educational moment, but throw them back into the water and say lesson learned. Now if that same officer checks them a week later and they have the same thing, well they are subject to whatever the officer wants to do. I doubt if one fisherman out of 100 even knows what species is in their bucket. I just brought it up as an education thing to think about.
