I dont have 2007 yet but I hope it does'nt omit sheepheads thats what I use for cut bait in the Mn. river!!

[Ralph Wiggum]

Nope! As far as I know, sheepshead are perfectly legal to use--just like sucker.

Sheepshead makes good sturgeon bait, for sure. Never tried for cats...yeat.

I didn't think it was legal to use Sheepies. If it is legal I'm surprised more people aren't tossing out for Flats. An older guy down at Black Dog probably 10 years ago said he used a 1 lb sheepie to catch a 47lb Flat.

The sheepies for live bait are hard to keep alive on a hook I have tried them bullies work better,1 hook lower jaw,

I just use the guts, and then only in the lake I shoot them out of.

Your choice, but it is still illegal.

[andrew chadwick]

how is this? I eat the fish, yet cant use the guts for bait. shouldnt this mean that using fish eyes is illegal as well?

Well, if the eye is from a game fish, goldfish, or carp, then it is illegal. It's pretty clear in the regs.
