Thread: legislation to fight carp invasion

When the entire Cumberland River/Tennessee River system is full of these things, maybe they'll drain the whole thing down!! That's what this is coming to...Pickwick is full of AC right now. After that it's Wilson, Wheeler, Guntersville and Nickajack.

11 million dollars won't touch this problem, 100 million and we're dancing...The trickle down affect is what scares me. Once people quit coming here to fish, there's going to be one heck of a trickle down influence on this entire area. Draffenville, Grand Rivers, Kuttawa, Eddyville, Benton and some other communities around here that depend on that out of town dollar, will be hurting. The price of real estate could unfortunately slide, too.

I'm in it for the long haul, so it won't hurt me as bad as someone who can't stomach the long haul. That said, they need to get the per pound price of AC at a realistic price to make it reasonable to fish them on the commercial side of the market.
