Gizzard shad are included in the definition of minnow, but you can’t collect gizzard shad from public waters and then sell them under the bait dealer’s license per IC 14-22-16 (which doesn’t allow minnows or crayfish to be taken from public waters and then sold) and 312 IAC 9-6-8 governing gizzard shad. The bait dealer’s license is only for the sale of live minnows or crayfish, so if you wants to sell dead gizzard shad, you need to obtain them from private waters, such as a fish hatchery, and have a fish hauler and supplier permit. I have posted the administrative rule that pertains to Gizzard Shad below. Let me know if you have any other questions.
312 IAC 9-6-8 Carp and gizzard shad as bait Authority: IC 14-22-2-6 Affected: IC 14-22 Sec. 8. (a) An individual must not use live carp as bait. (b) An individual must not use live gizzard shad or threadfin shad as bait except as follows: (1) An individual may collect live gizzard shad or threadfin shad for use as bait only from the following: (A) Brookville Reservoir. (B) Cecil M. Harden Reservoir. (C) Monroe Reservoir. (D) Patoka Reservoir. (E) Lake Freeman. (F) Lake Shafer. (G) Hardy Lake. (H) The Ohio River main stem, excluding all embayments. (2) An individual: (A) may use the live gizzard shad and threadfin shad as bait only within the body of water where it is collected; and (B) must not transport live gizzard shad and threadfin shad from the body of water where collected. (c) An individual must: (1) kill any live gizzard shad or threadfin shad collected for bait and not used; and (2) immediately kill gizzard shad and threadfin shad collected at waters not listed in subsection (b)(1). (d) An individual must not possess live gizzard shad or threadfin shad at waters other than those listed in subsection (b)(1). (e) An individual may collect live alewife from Lake Michigan for use as bait only on Lake Michigan. (f) An individual must: (1) not transport live alewife from Lake Michigan; (2) kill any live alewife collected for bait and not used; and (3) immediately kill alewife collected from waters other than Lake Michigan. (g) An individual must not possess live alewife other than on Lake Michigan.
