           Me too, 

  Man could you imagine getting a carp hit man after you. The family finding you shot in bed with a bloody carp head next to yours. If it had an arrow through it or a gob of bread, Wheaties, worms, corn etc. you would know what faction got you knocked off. ,

    BilletHead

Yeah. They would have to leave a sign because they would never get caught. We're told their millions strong,  fish all around us, but are hidden in plain sight and we never see them. Best camo money can buy. They don't buy it at Jonny world though because he promotes BF-ers.

I never see anyone carp angling, but I only frequent the waters in a 4-5 county area.  What Waters in the state does all this carp fishing happen at?   I have customers from all over 7 states and none of them (except for a couple flyfishermen) ever even mention Carp angling.

Fishing for minnows on #18-22 hooks seems to excite more folks around here than carp angling does.

            You opened yourself up to a response from MoCarp Wrench but I will respond for him. Like Deven said. You don't see them. They are in stealth mode in camo hiding so the bow fishers don't know where they have baited the spots and know where the big fish are. I think I remember him saying he once posted pictures of his spot and told where it was and then Bow fishers came in and shot his fish. They are out there millions strong. So when you are out on LOZ chasing bass see if you can find them? Oh wait you have not seen any and this proves how stealthy they are or you need glasses,

Just like MoCarp wanted.

[MOPanfisher]

It was a train wreck at the first posting, everything since is just more train cars piling up.  And yep I suspect MOcarp is laughing and sharing on the carp lover sites.

So you mean to tell us because you were having a carp fishing fest, people showed up and poured gas in your well, dumped your pet fish out of your tanks, and called you in for using drugs as bait? All of which was un-instigated. 

Are carp seriously that coveted between bowfishermen and euro anglers? Is this like a bloods/crips gang war over fish?

Last I checked these weren't Tuna and nobody was getting rich off catching them. 

it all started before I got involved when a carp group in Chicago sought to Ban Bfing, I had no idea of the hostility and naively and publicly shared fishing spots and invites on fishing forums/social media. once I got wind of how they were doing it set up a guy on a lake where BFing is not legal and got him busted and that set off the 1st of many chitfests, not just me David Moore was also the target of Bfer rage

         All this for a carp? Still waiting for something how this happened to you and why it wasn't reported an if so the report. I would venture to say you have a vivid imagination Harry. Nothing wrong with imagination and that is the truth. Fairytales and science fiction come to mind and I like them all. What state did this happen in? Most reports are published out there. You are good at computer skills and copy and paste. I am not. Share more please,

sorry billethead I wish it had been made up, I never share these things or even play the victim card like is so in vogue with progressives these days

The only people getting rich over carp is the manufacture of specialized carp equipment and bow fishing equipment including boats. The most important value is time spent afield by anyone chasing carp and the enjoyment for killing or C&R. 

  BilletHead

that is very true

Please ban Mocarp. Obviously his values go against everything that this site was built around. 

you can kill the messager but will never kill the message, been martyred on a couple of fishing forums for promoting carp angling still keep a printout of a quote from one  "if we let MoCarp keep telling how much fun it is to catch carp next thing you know they will be treating them like bass and walleyes" apparently some of you have run off other contributors in the past, at least thats what I was told I'm PMs I get on encouragement as far as this site I was here in the beginning and in the past organized carp events that brought groups here to spend $ sure those posts are archived somewhere better yet ask Phil

Good...I was beginning to wonder what the state of affairs in the area are. Started to sound like Warsaw should be named Chicago south.I for sure don't want to risk my life or my families getting caught in the cross fire of the carp mafia street war.😂

thats true many will not spend $ at bass pro because of the Bfing support don't think it will hurt them mush at this point its not like they carry nash or fox products any time soon

on more than one occasion I have been harassed and threatened by bfers fishing at Warsaw back in the day, had our fishing socials harassed etc, when I first got into carping I had a live and let live attitude heck I even bow fished a few times, but when not once but twice we had Bfing groups shoot up our state fishing socials 

I alway thought it was funny when someone would show up full of piss and vinegar to confront me in person and need to stand on a box to look me in the eye or how many times I was visited by a CO fishing with friends that were told we were stocking invasive or had drugs (hempseed used in carp baits) or how I had gas poured in my well, or baby carp (sold as bait) I kept in a horse tank to try out new baits and attractants were netted out and killed along with a note.

been martyred on a couple of fishing forums for promoting carp angling

   MoCarp,

    Did you not say all of this? Please reread your last statement towards us or may  correct it me.

   "I never share these things or even play the victim card" 

     I see seven lines here that you stated. Harry! No one cares you like to carp fish especially me. What I ask is that you please quit jamming it down my throat. Yes i could block you but there are times you post something interesting and I have a thirst to learn. You spew off many things. Some make sense some do not and bring up how to mess with bow fishermen legally? Then you say you have been harassed but cannot back it up?  Then say I never play the victim?  You sent me a PM once when we had a difference in opinion. You had mentioned we might have a sit down meal. I contemplated that and thought yes this could be done. Now I don't think so. I would liken it to one brick wall talking to another brick wall.  Enjoy your sport man,

   Sincerely The BilletHead

Promoting carp fishing is great.  Hey fellers carp are great fighters and fun to catch.  Posting idiocy like LM bass introduced in a lake in Chile or wherever, or bringing up alligator gar in Texas, or talking about banning Bowfishing is NOT pooling carp fishing.  I am done, was fun for a while.
