can't they simply shock the lock every time some thing goes through it and pick them up as they float to the top of the lock??? the DEC shocks trout here in the trout streams every spring at the ladders when they do the count, samey/same

The only reason he wants to let the carp in is so he can create a need to grab even more money for erradication efforts. I’m sure plenty of reasons to place more restrictions on sportfishing will arise in the process.
One of the Carp from Chicago made it all the way to the White House.
They forgot to tell who “Goss” is: http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/john-goss-asian-carp-federal-czar-oversee-obama-20100909
Cameron Davis - great lakes czar - environmental activist (president of the alliance for the great lakes).
John Goss - Carp czar - environmental activist.
Funny thing is that both men have the same basic job descriptions and both are supposed to deal with invasive species.
They should swim to the Klamath basin, where fish are appreciated...
“These carp are those fun carp, that leap out of the water when you approach with a boat.”
There should be a way to net them when they’re air borne. That would be a huge supply of protein that could be used any number of ways.
And don’t forget the Zebra Mussels!
Our GORGEOUS clear, clean waterways and lakes (largest fresh-water mass ANYWHERE on the PLANET!) are turning into a Freak Show hosting every invasive species imaginable!
Liberals included... :)
Aside from the alewife and grayling...you’re making me DROOL! :)
Thank God it’s FRIDAY tomorrow - Fish Fry at our house. And you?
‘Old Fashioneds’ for starters, then the ‘Salad Bar’ (which contains NO lettuce or lettuce substitutes) and the Cracker Basket with a big crock of ‘Processed Cheese Spread’ for dippin’! LOL!
Then, on to the Main Event... :)
“We should no longer let a tiny group of self important, crooked, blow hards destroy the greatest country on earth.”
Amen to that! :)
“One of the Carp from Chicago made it all the way to the White House.”
BUMPITY-BUMP-BUMP-BUMP! :)
I’ve been thinking about setting a couple of tip ups out in front of the house tomorrow. I can watch them from the living room.
I need a new boyfriend that’ll take me fishing. I really miss fishing...
My two best Gal Pals that are ‘Fisherwomen Bar None’ live in TN and ID. Too far to travel to fish.
And the ice is kinda slushy in TN, LOL!
I don’t fish as much as I used to. Mostly due to the fact that most of my friends live on the far side of the county.
Uh...what?
LOL yep.
Yup, this is a good idea. Seal the Chicago Sanitary Canal to save the Great Lakes from carp and return the crap to Chicago where it belongs.
Simply a brilliant plan I tell you. A for sure shovel ready project to start ASAP!!!!
Zebra mussels are a major nuisance, but they certainly clear up the water. I remember fishing in the St Lawrence years ago and there was algae so green you couldn’t see below a foot. The last time I was there about 6 years ago you could read a newspaper 20 feet below. The Ontario end was clearer than I had ever seen it in the past 40 years. I was disappointed the last time there as the perch appeared to be smaller than usual. I hear the lake now has European river rasps and flounders?? Different fish can also mean different excitement. I’m sure the pike and muskies don’t mind.
I don’t think Yellow Perch will ever be coming back to the levels we remeember as kids.
We need an advocate! Maybe we could get one of those nekkid PETA chicks to paint herself up as a Yellow Perch and live in an aquarium for a week or so in Times Square? LOL!
