The summary of wormbob's position A thru Z: You're against live bait.
You make good points about transportable diseases and pests like veligers. But regulations could be written to prohibit moving any bait or bait water from its home lake. Other than that issue, I don't see any problem with allowing the use of live bait. Catching live minnows to use as bait removes those individuals from the lake's inventory, it doesn't add.
That's as far into this debate as I'm going to get.
