The only nets allowed for bait collection are throw nets, dipnets and seines.
Here's the actual wording in the Code:
3 CSR 10-6.605 Live Bait
PURPOSE: This rule establishes seasons, methods, and limits for taking species defined as live bait.
(1) Daily Limit: In the aggregate, one hundred fifty (150) crayfish, freshwater shrimp,and those species of fish not defined as game
fish in 3 CSR 10-20.805; and five (5) each of the following amphibians: southern leopard frog, plains leopard frog, and cricket
frog. Bighead carp, common carp, goldfish, grass carp, and silver carp may be taken and possessed in any number.
(2) Methods.
(A) Live bait may be taken by a trap with throat opening not to exceed one and one-half inches (1 1/2") in any dimension, dip net,
throw net, pole and line, or a seine not more than twenty feet (20') long and four feet (4') deep, of a mesh not more than one-half inch
(1/2") bar measure.
Using a trawl in many of our lakes could be pretty dangerous with all the standing timber too.
thank you
