Legality/technique question

In my opinion, "spot burning" is when somebody exposes an otherwise little-known body of water on mass media as a great place to catch big fish.

The inevitable result of that publicity being the sudden appearance of an army of yahoos, comrades and amigos eager to rape the body-of-water of its gamefish.

If a spot is on Fish & Game's stocking list, it's not an easy place to spot-burn.
I can respect that some anglers may want to minimize the publicity the lake receives to keep it off the radar of the undesirables, but it's technically not spot-burning.

Anyway, the only legal issue I have ever run into with bait is a pet store that wouldn't sell me goldfish because I intended to use them as bait. So, if you intend to use goldfish as bait, don't bring a bait bucket into the store and make sure you tell them it's to feed your Oscars.
