Paddlefish Poachers - From WRTV6

INDIANAPOLIS -- Ohio River paddlefish, whose eggs are sought by poachers as a lucrative source of caviar, are being protected by new regulations from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

The DNR approved emergency rules that include limiting the catching of the paddlefish from Nov. 15 to April 15 and a minimum size of 34 inches from eye to tail fork.

"Our recent investigation clearly revealed that existing regulations are insufficient to protect this unique resource," DNR director Robert Carter Jr. said Monday. "Unfortunately, the high market prices for paddlefish caviar do not encourage resource conservation.

"The escalating harvest pressure threatens to take paddlefish faster than they can be replaced, which could lead to a shortage we intend to prevent," he said.

A two-year investigation has led to arrests of more than 20 people on charges including illegal taking of paddlefish, money laundering, and racketeering and corrupt business influence, Carter said.

Paddlefish in the Mississippi River Basin, including the Ohio River, were targeted by poachers because of a decline in traditional sturgeon caviar sources in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, the DNR said.

Most females require 10 to 12 years to mature and may spawn only once every two to three years. A mature female paddlefish may carry several pounds of eggs, which can bring up to $250 per pound or more, the department said.

The emergency rules, valid for one year and then renewable for another year, also prohibit the snagging of paddlefish by people with sport-fishing licenses. They also prohibit the use of gill nets and trammel nets during the closed paddlefish season, and standardize a method for commercial fishers to check paddlefish for the presence of eggs.

Precision Cricket Measuring

Here at The Bait Barn we have taken the time to precisely measure the amount of crickets distributed from our tube. Taking into consideration that the average cricket is 3/4 of inch in length and 1/4" of an inch in width, using mathematical calculations we have determined exactly where the lines in the 1" diameter tube should be. The first line is drawn at 2 and 1/4" of the tube indicating there are 25 crickets in the tube, the second line is 4 and 1/2" inches indicating there are 50 crickets in the tube. The tube measures 9" long so when someone purchases a Full tube of crickets they actually get about 110 crickets. Now you maybe asking yourself what does all this mean for you the consumer, nothing really their just crickets! So come on into the Bait Barn and grab some crickets for fishing, your exotic pets or just to get the wild turkeys flowing through your property during hunting season. 25 for $1.00, 50 for $1.90 or full tube about 110 for $3.85 Checkout or Local Live Bait Page for shopping in Indianapolis.
