In recent days I have been speaking to the fisheries chiefs of a few states I should share some trends with common carp issues. One thing that was interesting was that most of the states consider common carp native naturalized fish along with Florida largemouth outside of their range, brooks brown and rainbow trout outside of their ranges. Many are recognizing the need for revised management of common car for the angling public that pursue common carp.
It’s interesting that fisheries resources are being put forth studying One thing that I’ve noticed in the studies it seems that areas with fished down rough fish populations seem to be much more vulnerable to large populations of the true Asian carp (big head and silver ) Also for your trout fisherman it seems that there’s a big push on regulating the commercial fish farming trade because of the surge of trout born fish diseases and the interstate shipping of said try also for your trout fisherman it seems that there’s a big push on regulating the commercial fish farming trade because of the surge of trout born fish diseases and the interstate shipping of said trout seems North Carolina produces more try out then any other state that’s for commercial use and recreational fishing
Hey big issue is so-called pay lakes or catch out lakes, seems a lot of fish mainly blue catfish get legally caught in other states and sold into the catch out like system and like the Carolinas and Virginia It had gotten so bad in the neighboring states like Tennessee that they initiated a one fish over 34 inches To combat this issue I’ve been told of my carp fishing buddies in the Carolinas That fish pay lakes it’s common for people to go fishing in states like Tennessee Missouri and is far away is New York to obtain giant blue cats for a live sale into these pay lakes unsure how many leave Missouri but it happens anyways I have some videos I might have to post up in a while on these fish being delivered
