Question: I live in San Joaquin County and have two fishing questions. First, is it legal to fish with live shad? Second, is it legal to use a cast net/bait net to catch shad and minnows?
Answer: A casting net or throw net is unlawful to use or possess in inland waters, but dip nets are authorized for taking certain species of fin fish that can be used as bait (see CCR Title 14, sections 4.00 - 4.30 in the Freshwater Sport Fishing Regulations available online at www.dfg.ca.gov/regulations). Live shad may be used in the Valley and South Central Districts (Section 4.10) in waters where taken, but they must be taken with a legal dip net under certain provisions.
