The Sport of Carp Fishing
what are you guys talking about??? The original post was about carp, wasn't?
Also, I am MSC already, did you guys even start a college? "Henry Hefner" wrote in message oups.com... Yes, but you are posting about carp in the newsgroup rec.outdoors.fishing.BASS That is what is known as off topic cross posting. greg wrote: what is the topic of this thread? carp, isn't? "Dan, danl, danny boy, Redbeard, actually Greybeard now" wrote in message ... "greg" wrote, "I simply cant believe how ignorant you are" I feel the same way about offtopic cross posters. Please try not to cross post to other groups. Some groups have charters, FAQ and posting guidelines, please try to observe them. On Sun, 19 Mar 2006 19:59:11 -0500, "greg" sent into the ether: I simply cant believe how ignorant you are. If you were just a bit smarter, you would understand that carp days are coming and coming quickly to the States. You are simply so completely blinded with whatever all those colorful fishing magazines tell you that you would not even consider anything but bass fishing. Bass fishing is a lot of fun, but hey, open your eyes! I bet if someone in the USA starts up CarpMaster and put some money into marketing (and this will happen very soon) you will be the first one to switch "E." wrote in message ... Down here the protocol is to cut their stinking heads off then let them go. There's no denying carp are a good fighting fish, but they are a destructive pest. Anyone releasing a carp deserves to have all their gear confiscated, and face court. That *would* be a fun catch on 6lb line. Most spots i go to the carp are 70-100cm+. Killing them is a civic duty. Yes, if it was spent on rotenone to kill them. E. I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it!

Then the States needs to urgently re-examine its policies, before its waterways are overrun, fouled up, and devoid of anything but mud puppies. You are simply so completely blinded with whatever all those colorful fishing magazines tell you that you would not even consider anything but bass fishing. Making baseless statements makes you like stupid. I don't buy magazines unless they are giving away free stuff. I also don't fish for bass. Why would I when there are much better fish to target such as Murray Cod and Yellowbelly about? I also target carp regularly, but for different reasons. Bass fishing is a lot of fun, but hey, open your eyes! Pot, Kettle, Black. That bit on your map that says "here be dragons..." is actually The Rest Of The World. It exists. The US is not alone on planet earth. Introduced carp are a problem in many countries. I'm not denying that carp are a fun fish to catch, I just think promoting them is stupid due to the damage they have been proven to do. I don't think you'd win many freinds by illegaling stocking carp into a previously carp free waterway. I bet if someone in the USA starts up CarpMaster and put some money into marketing (and this will happen very soon) you will be the first one to switch We already have carp killing tournaments to get rid of the pests. My comments are about releasing them or caring for the scumsuckers. Standard practice is to take a small axe to despatch them, so you don't foul a knife to be used on a decent fish. E. |

I bet if someone in the USA starts up CarpMaster and put some money into marketing (and this will happen very soon) you will be the first one to switch As soon as carp become a "game fish", you can start to write off all native fish, the damage to the water, and habitat, to native fish, that carp cause, is well known, trying to control their numbers, by killing every carp caught, is the only thing that helps keep them in check, some DNR's have poisoned whole bodies of water killing everything , just to get the carp out, then restocking native fish. When carp become a game fish, they will start putting limits on them, and IDIOTS will start C&R them, it won't take long, and they will become at least 80% of a body of water's fish bio-mass. actually they are doing this now, with no protection. This is a "PROVEN" FACT !!!!!!!!!!! Sure carp are fun to catch, shooting coyotes is fun too, and here, in the south, where coyotes are not native, that they have no place in our eco-system, we have fun eradicating them. Just like we do with the imported starlings If you like carp fishing ,, fine,, have at it, but remove every carp you catch, eat them , give them away, plant them in your garden, there sure is no shortage of them, and there never will be, untill we convince the DNR's to poison them "all". At least you crap fishermen can help control their numbers, then we bass fishermen, would not bad mouth ya'll so much. Another solution, is there becoming a commercial market for them, netting them in huge numbers. -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Mojo SpecTastic "WIGGLE" rig, SpecTastic Thread, Boomerang Fishing Pro. ,Stand Out Hooks ,Stand Out Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com |

Their answer "sold them to a major fast food chain"..which by the way, they wouldn't name. I always thought that fish sandwich at McDonalds had a familiar taste to it. Tom G. |

They actually make good fertiliser and are caught with this purpose in mind in some places. Netting is largely out of the question due to greenie policies. Cheers, E. |

Cheers, Looking forward to April 1. Net season runs for 2 months here in Michigan, (lower, upper has a 1 month season starting a month later) I have a new net on the way, my ropes are ready to go, I love killing carp in large numbers. Did you know that netters catch as many fish on the bottom of the net as the top? (8x8 net lays flat on the bottom) Next carp you catch, examine the dorsal fin. There is a saw-toothed spine that catches in the mesh and a 30 pounder can be lifted only by the spine. You can tell when you've set your net on top of a big one. The whole assembly starts shaking and bouncing around. Wait a few to insure the mesh catches the barbs. Funny sight , pulling 3-4 carp up by a single fin and all hanging below the net. I'll post some pictures in a few weeks. Pepperoni |

Supporting:
"That *would* be a fun catch on 6lb line. Most spots i go to the carp are 70-100cm+. Killing them is a civic duty. Yes, if it was spent on rotenone to kill them." Is cruel brutal and simply stupid. Will you take your children to a lake and teach them "to cut their stinking heads off then let them go."? There is a big chance carp is more native in the USA then most of you guys. And is here to stay. Killing animals just to show off is sensless and it is against animal crualty law. I cant believe no one said anything against "to cut their stinking heads off then let them go." How many years must pass until carp will become "native" according to you? Do you also support killing other species as well which may be a threat to bass? I heard people killing gar, pike, muskie... I hope I will at least make you thinking. "E." wrote in message ...

Those are 100% shark, at least they were, as I had a friend that had the contract with supplying them shark meat 20 years ago, The reason they used shark is because it has no bones, Think about the law suit if someone got a carp bone stuck in their throat -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Mojo SpecTastic "WIGGLE" rig, SpecTastic Thread, Boomerang Fishing Pro. ,Stand Out Hooks ,Stand Out Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com |

Is cruel brutal and simply stupid. Will you take your children to a lake and teach them "to cut their stinking heads off then let them go."? In a heart beat, and it's brilliant, not stupid, would do the same for snake heads, and all those other carp that are now taking over. It's called PEST CONTROL, no different than killing rats, as carp are the rats of the water. I guess you think it's cruel to set a mouse trap in your house ? Do you teach your kids that roaches are nice and should never be killed ? I'm a person who will remove a rattle snake from my property without harming it, because they control the rats, they have a place here, they are native, plus they are just fun to catch unharmed There is a big chance carp is more native in the USA then most of you guys. And is here to stay. Killing animals just to show off is sensless and it is against animal crualty law. I cant believe no one said anything against "to cut their stinking heads off then let them go." How many years must pass until carp will become "native" according to you? NEVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and just not me, but the biologist feel the same way, the guys who actually know, they don't let their beliefs get in the way of the facts. In some places carp, are the only fish in the water, in many more areas carp are over 80% of the fish Bio-mass. They had to displaced all the native species, to get there. Do you also support killing other species as well which may be a threat to bass? I heard people killing gar, pike, muskie... Non native fish, are the only ones we take out, those listed eat bass, that improves the bass size and quality, taking out numbers that actually need to be, to keep bass from over populating, and being stunted, carp keep bass from spawning, eliminating them, carp also disrupt the native food chain for bass, and other species I hope I will at least make you thinking. Yep, that I must now target more carp, because Stupid people like you are C&R them, and teaching other to do it. I'm all for people catching carp for fun,, JUST KILL THEM, there is absolutely no reason for C&R of carp, their numbers are HUGE, and getting bigger. You release a 30 lb female carp, and you just put half a million more carp in the water next year. People like you, want us, to give up on all other fishing, just like you have. It's not going to happen, without a fight. -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Mojo SpecTastic "WIGGLE" rig, SpecTastic Thread, Boomerang Fishing Pro. ,Stand Out Hooks ,Stand Out Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com |
