I heard it is castration, when the bait is good. At the very least you better keep your good bait in the right places. For using cracker bait, they just print your name in the local newspapers and internet as a violator, because that's not much of a threat to fish. I used some grade B bait a couple times when I was out of the grade A [Bleeeeep!], in a bait permitted area yet, and that got my name posted.
