Thread: asian carp territory

Aint got there yet, 2 completely different river systems.

I think I read they are in Kentucky lake now so give it time and they will be in Tenn Tom waterway. Google it and see what you can find out.

This latest round of flooding may well have taken care of that. It's a plague equal to some of the Biblical curses in the Bible.

I've wandered a lot of times, how long it will be before they start showing up. I've also wandered what it will do to riverfront property values. Most folks I know who have property there love water sports and to pleasure boat ride. The carp will take the fun out of all that.

They don't jump the same everywhere,and the Silvers jump worse than the Bigheads. It actually was not too bad until their numbers got so out of hand. If we could just get them down to a reasonable number as a percentage of the total fish weight we could live with them as bad as I would hate too.But they are like the alien invaders from another planet...they just multiply beyond belief and try to choke out everything.

See where they were brought here from southeast asia to help in water treatment facilities and let loose by flood waters .

The govment at work!

If it would help.
1. Have every state that has them to offer a free fishing day once a month. As long as you have one in your boat, string or trash bag you can catch the limit of any fish you wish in that body of water without a license.
2. If a agent wants to check your license you show him the carp. He tells you to fish on and goes to the next person.

The states need to give a little and we need to remove as many as we can.

We'll try to be at Pickwick the middle of March for a skip jack run to fill a freezer. I'll see if they are that far up KY lake.
