Cormorants are considered wildlife and I work with fish. If I had it my way, yall know what I would do...
Several lakes around the state have huge flocks (in the 100's) of Cormrants . They are eating fish and injuring them like crazy daily. Even Crappie well over a pound showing up with cuts from these birds . When are they going to be removed from protected statis ? Right now about 10% of bigger Crappie have injuries on them that I catch. I sent this to AGFC but maybe some biologists can address this . The numbers seem to increase every year . They can have an impact on fish numbers in my opinion .

I about to be on the water. I will explain the citation in greater detail when I get done fishing.

My wife took this picture in south Louisiana of one being scooped up off the water by a bald Eagle.....we followed it for a half mile....watched it land in a tree and proceeded to eat the commorant.....

I hate them birds. They will destroy a fishing hole quick when a flock of em move in.
Went by Coal Pile during the winter and there was over a thousand there!!!
Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
That is some super cool photo's!!!!! We need some more bald eagles down here if they gonna eat them thangs!

I have a friend that minnow farms for a living. He harvests 1/3 of his crop every year, the other 2/3 is taken by predation. He told me of that 2/3 he thought 75% was cormorants. I've always been amazed by that
Not less than 2000 birds in the flock I saw working the west end of Dardanelle. Looked like a big flock of snow geese feeding as they jumped over each other feeding across the lake. I guess the eagle that was in the area was there for a reason.
I heard they taste like a cross between chicken and tuna, but I cannot verify that. I just know that I'm anxious to try some "cormorant salad" on toast just as soon as they become legal.
