Thread: Carp nets in Jonathan Creek

Trip planned for late April early May,
Jonathan creek area, are these nets
a big problem here. Don't want to cancel
but don't want to tear up anything either

I wouldn't cancel a trip because of carp nets. The guy who put those nets I first posted about will have either lost them, had them cut into 1000 pieces, decided to move to another bay, or started marking them.

I talked to a commercial fisherman at Paris Landing yesterday and he got furious when I told him about the unmarked nets. The commercial guys will probably brow-beat the guys who don't mark them. They know the only way we can all get along is to know where the nets are and stay away from them.

Thank you M R Dux for the reply, haven't
been to the lake for awhile and didn't
know about the nets. Wife and I are looking
forward to getting back to do a little crappie,
bluegill and shellcracker fishing. Thanks
again for the information.

Maybe a sticky thread about current netting locations??

I passed over a big net today in Willow Bay. It was marked by an eight inch chartreuse colored foam marker. It was about the size of a box of cheese nips and tucked in tightly against the waves couldn't be seen until i was basically on top of it. I got lucky because i was up on plane at a decent clip and no damage was sustained to my boat or the net.

Boy, marking these things with small markers isn't going to fly....don't know what else to say.

saw a center console boat inside the break wall this weekend at Kentucky Dam Marina putting out a net....I was shocked that can not be legal

I can only hope they put some on Barkley in Tennessee. These carp are out of control. Hopefully they will mark them.
