At the moment I know I need a resident commercial fishing license to legally sell bait.

I've been trying to contact baitstores about selling them shiners and frozen chum but am having no luck.

I'm not good when it comes to talking to people. But I do know how to say "Hi, do you want to buy bait from me?" lol.

Any hints tips, suggestions or links would be most appreciated. Thanks

I have a major dilemma.

In SE Florida I have a large pond that I fish in. It has Bass, Carp, Golden shiners, Bluegill, Redbreast sunfish, Catfish and EXOTICS! Tons of them.

So many of them in fact that the ratio is 7 exotics to 3 native... The native fish are small and the exotics are huge.

The last exotic that I caught was a 6lb Tilapia and on average the exotics weigh in about 2-5 lbs... Most days that I fish I catch about 20 fish... That's way to many exotics to give away or feed to my dog, when I fish 4+ times a week. I can't leave them on the bank because there would be a mound of rotting fish after a few days. I can't make chum out of all of them because i have nowhere to store it or get rid of it.

I've thought of making chum and selling it to bait stores, but that presents even more problems, such as the roe, commercial fishing license and so on.

What do I do?

I really enjoy fishing this pond because it's large and has potential record fish in it.

Freshwater, has sharp teeth, caught in SE Florida.
