talking about an invasion of asian carp in lake michigan. they said it would virtually destroy the greatest fishery system in north america if the carp were to invade the great lakes system. they are gonna do a fish kill in the tens of thousands to determine the extent of the asian carp population.

You mean the report said they are already present in Lake Michigan now, or they are worried that they will be soon?

wb, i think they are checking to see if they have wandered into lake michigan. the link above is an article from last week, differs a little from what i heard on cnbc this morning.Quote:

Doubt it Sat, it's destroyed or destroying so many acres of water that they've already been woken, wakened, er um. come to, but they don't have a solution for removing it. That's the bad part. Once there, they're there.

I know what will kill them....number 7 2 3/4 12 ga.
I like Torch's idea! We need anaother hunting season in the mix, say maybe in August
they said that they are very prolific breeders and will overtake a lake in a short time. i think they said something about using a chemical to make them not breed, but i may be wrong.
here is the video link

this is a different video than the one i saw this morning, this was a live report at noon.
We have already lost some darn good holes because of them things. Would hate to see them get into any of the coe lakes.
They are not sure if the carp got past the TWO elec. barriers, but they found some DNA of the carps past the barriers, they were talking about turning up the voltage a notch. I don't fish the rivers up here but i've heard these carp launch themselves in the wakes of boats & some have been injured by these fish landing in the boats. they might have made it to L.M. hopfully not enough to breed. poisining is their next option. last i read they were going to shut down all traffic for a week & poision part of the system
