Man, it poured out here. Got just about a inch in 30 minutes. Go get em.

Up to number 5.. # 6 flooped out the boat while I turned to get another pole. We got a bit of rain here about 20 minutes ago. Fish was on fire for 10 minutes or so before it hit. Now done died off, fish so frisky can't open the livewell without them trying to jump out. Wind picking up now, won't let me stay on the fish.

Moon have been blessed with the asian carp so things are evolving quickly on that lake... Sadly...

Hate to hear it, those oxbow lakes are natural beauties for sure. What worries me, if the oxbows can't handle the carp invasion with all the structure they have in them (trees, vegetation, docks, piers etc.) than the big 4 don't stand a chance. Hope I'm wrong, but I think they are already in some of the flood lakes. I think the law of not catching bait down river and putting them on ice before transport to the main lake came several years too late. Again, I prey I'm wrong

I wish you were!! AC will eventually ruin all our good fishing lakes. Any eradication projects can only make a dent in the population. If they would only approve the use of the Virus. They are using it in Australia.

Bout time you chimed in reb, heck you know more about these delta oxbows than anyone. And that virus, is that the one in the herpes family, that only effects carp? I heard alligator gar may be a solution too, but who knows

The majority of the Gar are Needle Nose, Aligator Gar are protected in some places; They forage on the fry Carp, but the Carp grow so quickly that by their first year they are too big for Gar. This past winter, the Chinamen were able to pull about 20K#'s or so out of Moon, but since the accident (drowning), that has stopped. The Virus is the only thing that's out there. Pulling nets is a lot of hard work for a little money!
