Great shoot carp under the water and sky carp above the water .:Rofl
Hate it when that happens. I lost a whole crop of pumpkins one fall during a downpour!
Those critters have really got bad, not only affecting the fish population, but also supplies of veggies. shoot-em all!
Man this rain will really push the flying Sky carp up the Arkansas, Wont be long and they will be eating your crappie eggs, breeding like wild fire, and destroying spawning habitat. They have already made their way up past Pine Bluff. Just a matter of time before they work their way into Lake Dardanelle and Lake Nimrod. Man I wish we could eradicate those Dam things. Probly see a Asian Flying Carp.Com before long.
add Lake Conway to the list to.

Truth be told after last years major flooding, I would be willing to bet they are already there...Just no one has been smacked in the face yet while motoring 30-70 MPH. I think this will be the number one issue Facing Game and Fish authorities in the next few years and from what I seen from other states they are losing the battle. I also hear the lakes these things get a strong hold in.... are not near the crappie fisheries they were before the arrival of AFC's. Ok I have ranted enuff about them, I hope there is a solution.
They are already in the Arkansas River as far up as Lake Dardanelle dam (Silver and Bighead Carp).Quote:

Yep, not to sound the alarm, but I have been waiting for someone to see one on Conway. This is another reason why we need a weir spillway on the lake. This would help keep unwanted species out of the lake (yellow bass, Asian carp). We will continue to do our part and request money for the fesability study of the spillway. Y'all feel free to let the commission know that a weir spillway is needed. Hint hint...Quote:
