Regarding recent posts on this forum re: blue back herrings in Lake Marrin-

It's my understanding that they were introduced illegally at Lake Lanier in Georgia as well, but once they were introduced, they were eventually legalized as bait. Lanier is considered by many knowledgeable fishermen to be the best spotted bass lake in the southeast. Wonder why the Georgia DNR did not (does not) try to eradicate them if they are so destructive, rather than approve them as bait?
