I think all the rain and colder weather has messed up the spawn for alot of fish this year and in some places it's running late. There is a full moon coming up next week, look for some fish to be on the beds but I'm not sure about the carp spawn.

I think the spawn was really late this year. I went to Clearfork Res., at the end of June to do some muskie fishing and the carp were tearing the place up in the standing grass in shallow water. I wished that I had brought my bow instead of my rod and reel.

So what do you guys do with the carp you shoot?

[snag]

what do we do with the fish we shoot, cook em up, in the smoker there good,give em to shore fisherman. this subject was over discussed about two months ago,it,s not like were taking a game fish,out of the system,in some other states north and south you can take cats,not in ohio,

They are great for flower beds too.

No, I was just wondering snag. I always just throw them in the garden for fertalizer. But I did give some carp to a black guy from columbus one time.

[snag]

no problem c d somtimes you can give them to bank fisherman, after anything that swims to there bait,but they to have gotten p oood when you ask them if they want some carp. my brother has taken small ones and cleaned them up and put them in a smoker and they were pretty good with some crackers and a few cold ones..
