Asian Carp at the Ohio River Locks and Dam

"They" are doing all they can. The F&W was shocking them just the other day near the great lawn. They are studying every possible angle.

It' not as shocking an scooping.

I read the other day that they taste like cod. I'll have to taste them for myself to decide that. If they do taste like cod or whitefish what's to stop seafood places along the Ohio river from sneaking them onto our plates. We paid 40.00 for two fish plates at mike linings the other day. Just saying.

I believe they've already tried something along those lines. Calling them "Carp" doesn't set well with the general population, so they nicknamed them "KY Tuna" for greater acceptance. Not sure that's gone over all that well, either, as you can see from this article which was written in 2010 : http://www.state-journal.com/local%2...-kentucky-tuna

Please don't use the term Kentucky Tuna. Whoever started promoting that term should taken to the woodshed and beaten. First the fish has nothing to do with Kentucky and it is not restricted to Kentucky, so Kentucky should not be used in the name. Second Kentucky already has a bad rep across the rest of the country for being dumb hillbillies who have chickens in the front yard and don't wear shoes. Calling the silver and big head carp tuna would pretty much cement the public opinion that people in Kentucky are so dumb/poor that they think carp is tuna.

The Asian crap seem to flourish in the Illinois River for some reason, the pool near Peoria IL having the largest concentration. They implemented some sort of electrified field in the Illinois River to keep the crap from getting into Lake Michigan. From what I've heard they believe it is working. The commercial fishing for the carp has picked up on the Illinois River as well. The last time I was on it all the large Asian carp were gone. There were still large schools of smaller carp but the ones big enough to knock you out of a boat were gone.

So "they" are trying lots of things trying to eradicate the fish. So far nothing has been successful. Just be glad our rivers don't look like the Illinois River by Peoria. There are several videos on YouTube showing how bad it is.

The latest Ohio River, "must have" fishing lure.

Casts far, targets specific areas, yet as a lure you don't have to be dead on target for it to bring the fish up.

This lure hits, when others fail.....guaranteed, or you can return it for a refund.
