Is it legal to catch live bait with a cast net in Az ?
Couldn’t find any regs pertaining to cast nets 😃
Capturing Baitfish and Crayfish for Bait
Live baitfish may be used only in areas approved for certain species.
Live bait may be taken by minnow trap, dip net, cast net, pole and line, hand- line, crayfish net or seine.
Cast nets shall not exceed a 4-foot ra- dius (or an 8-foot diameter).
Seine nets shall not exceed 10 feet in length and 4 feet in width.
Except for sunfish of the genus Lep- omis, the flesh of gamefish may not be used as bait.
Landing nets or dip nets may be used for the capture of legal baitfish or cray- fish or only to land a legally hooked fish.
Any unattended traps or devices used to catch or hold aquatic wildlife or fish must have attached water resistant identification legibly bearing the name, address, and fishing license number of the person using the device.
All aquatic wildlife taken incidental-ly while capturing live bait with nets or traps must be returned immediately and unharmed to the water after being caught.
All live legal baitfish and live cray-fish caught must be for personal use only and are not to be sold or used for commercial purposes.
Live crayfish may only be used as bait on the same body of water where they were captured.
