RE: buffalo and carp - popolarbear - 07-20-2014 here we go. regular spot wasn't clear enough and too much boat traffic, we stumbled on this spot. what a gem. JJ lost a personal record. new secret spot. enjoy the vid gang. RE: buffalo and carp - scubafreek864 - 07-21-2014 That is awesome! Gotta love sneaking up on them, and boom! RE: buffalo and carp - Hydro - 07-22-2014 RE: buffalo and carp - Terry - 07-22-2014 Brad Parsons, DNR regional fisheries manager. Parsons said the discovery of these fish does not necessarily mean a breeding population of invasive carp exists within Pool 2. Still, he said both fish were females that contained eggs. “That’s concerning,” he said. WOW! I can see why they made this guy a manager,,,,,,, goes along the line, if your parents didn't have kids, your not likely to either. Pool 2 is my normal cruising area for a Mississippi run, now all we need to do is wait a few years till they breed up a storm, and get the 12 gauges loaded onto the Impulse. Looking forward to that adventure! RE: buffalo and carp - stick500 - 07-29-2014 to stick up for Brad from the DNR a bit, there is a slight chance that all we'll ever see up this far north are migrant fish like the ones that were just caught there is some thought within the fishery world that the bighead and silvers need a very specific ecosystem/climate for breeding (the Illinois River being perfect) and that reproduction may not place successfully in the Great Lakes or in the more northern reaches of the mighty Miss it could very well be wishful thinking on their part, but I guess we'll see soon enough personally, I would love the opportunity to actually shoot some big fish with my speargun and bow that are good to eat, but I wouldn't want to see fisheries and ecosystems ruined for my own selfish hunting needs |
