Thanks for replying. Just bank fishing for now. Does anyone use things like chicken livers or minnows? Are you allowed to use minnow traps to catch bait?

Yes folks do use chicken livers and sure minnows also.Dont know about minnow traps.check NC WILDLIFE .online or pick up a hunt fish book from a licence supplier such as Wal mart
