Dead Bait Fishing for Pike

So, are there any restrictions on fish as dead bait that are not clearly stated in the regs?

(I got 10 whole frozen mackarel for like $3.50 at Food Basics yesterday, each maybe 6-8 inches long, so that'll probably be my first attempt with the pike.)

Some of OSF's members or our visitors may live at, or fish, those areas....... hence the caution.

Good choice - nice and oily, and scent.....take some thread to tie them on if they get too soft when thawed........but save a few for a quick fried snack.
