Seriously, are you that uneducated on fishing rules? You cannot use any baitfish in any body of water that has not been taken from that body of water, or sold at a nearby bait shop. You cannot buy baitfish at pet stores, only feeder fish, meant for feeding aquarium fish. Using goldfish as a baitfish risks releasing all types of aquarium fish diseases into a natural environment infecting native fish. Doing so and introducing a disease could throw a whole body of water out of whack.
