Fishing weather is finally getting here!

The weather in Arizona isnt quite rite either and our best lake, Apache lake has been taken over by Golden Alge which really sucks.

What did u use to catch the Bowfin as they seem to be the only survivors.

I did manage to catch a striped bass on accident, hookd em on the bottom of the mouth with a crank bait lol

thats a waste.

Actually no. This lake winter kills a huge number of carp every year. That in turn messes up the water quality for all the other fish and it has massive die offs of game fish. I am helping this lake out. We saw thousands of winterkill carp, catfish and bass all over the shoreline of this lake. Also this lake is a big waterfowl lake. The ducks are having a hard time getting food because the carp root it all up. They were not native here in the us and need to be removed. The DNR spends thousands every year to kill off several lakes to try and reclaim it back from the uncontrollable carp infestation.

And then you complain about your food bill being too high... Logic much?

I am to assume this was toward me. I have tried to feed these to my fish and it is to greasy. They also are to boney. My fish didn't like them. I do catch northern pike, sunfish, bass, suckers(I also shoot them), buffalo(I also shoot them) catfish and many many other species of fish here and feed them to my fish. It is the amount of food that all my tanks consume right now that is causing me to shut some down. I just chose my ray and a few others over my gars. I don't recall complaining at all about my food bill being to high. Just that I wanted to cut back on it, there is a difference.

Also all these fish that weren't given to someone for food directly are used as fertilizer for a home garden that we eat from. So they are not wasted, even so they are just carp. In the UK they are prized here most get thrown into the garbage. If I catch them fishing I release them. This is different.
