I was out there yesterday and saw a commercial guy pulling up his nets. I think I saw him throwing away quiet a few Asian carps or it something else pretty big.

Right now in KY waters, Asian carp are the only thing they can keep.

It was in TN in the river near Big Sandy. I was riding by them. Looked big like the Asian carp but I couldn't really tell what they where throwing away. I have too much Asian carp on my mind these days. Every time there is no wind I think I see them up near the surface. Maybe it is regular carp?

I fished at Jonathan Creek today and they were everywhere I fished it seemed. I'm totally frustrated trying to learn a new technique and I feel like to game fish will be anywhere near schools of these carp.

You might have seen them throwing back common carp, buffalo, etc.
We ran thru huge schools of Asians yesterday on the main lake. It appeared they were cleaning up the remains of a big willow fly hatch. They would feed right up to the boat with their mouths right on top. These were all bigheads. Rickie had a big silver almost jump in his lap at the Hwy 68 bridge. The silvers sure don't like the line hitting them when pulling cranks.
We had to get away from the carp to catch crappie, even on the main lake in 20 feet of water. My experience says if the carp are there, the crappie won't be.

Commercial fishermen who fish under the Asian Carp commercial harvest program are allowed to keep other species of rough fish. However, at least 65% of their catch must be Asian carp. Additionally, they are required to let the department know when and where they will be fishing. This is to avoid conflicts, and allow spot checks to ensure that people are following the guidelines of the program. This is for commercial fishermen who have paid for their commercial license and are fishing under the special program which allows year round net setting. During the regular netting season, most Asian carp commercial fishermen choose not to actively participate in the special program because of its restrictions. This means that even though they may harvest a lot of Asian carp during the regular netting season, they are not bound to the 65/35 or any of the other rules which are specific to the Asian carp harvest program.
We have recently begun a program which offers a free license to those commercial fishermen who want to catch exclusively asian carp. Those fishermen are not allowed to keep any other rough fish and are also subject to the other rules about notifications.
Both of these restrictions are in place to ensure that the focus of their harvest is Asian carp, rather than more lucrative species of rough fish.
One of the problems we are currently facing is that sometimes processors who specialize in Asian carp wont take the other rough species. This obviously creates a logistical problem for our fishermen, but we are working on some new solutions.
