I went out just before dark last night along the edge of the old Erie canal by foot. I had 3 shots and landed 2 fish. All were small but I shot my 1st Mirror carp ever. I could have had 2 nice snapping turtles also.

Jim That's a nice fish! What kind of area was he in? weeds, rocks, flats?

I think this rain may delay the spawn a little bit, personally I have not seen any evidence of spawning activity yet.

Clear water cruising natural banks. The big females are full of eggs yet. it's just getting started here.

Pickled Carp and Muzzy must be synonymous for good time

Good Luck this afternoon Jim.

Guys, I have not done this for the last 50 yrs. I did enjoy it as a kid on Seneca Lake. I remember guys would give the carp to people with gardens as fertilizer... What do you do with them after you shoot them. I think its good to get them out of the water because I think they eat a lot of bass and panfish eggs.. Do you eat them? If so where would I find a recipe? and how do they taste? Just rigged up my old Bear and ready to go.

Frank,

Some bodies of water the fish are best suited as fertilizer. Other cleaner bodies of water you can eat them. Here is how My friend John prepares them.

The smaller ones actually taste pretty good Smoked. The larger ones can be made into fish patties. Run them through a meat grinder, mix in some eggs, breadcrumbs and onions, some seasoning of your choice and fry like a burger. [/b]
I will also use them as bait once July 15 hits.

YEAH IT'S ABLAST.WE used to have a archery division in the Barge Canal Carp Derby in Seneca Falls.A guy I know won it one year with a 55# prehistoric looking fish on a pole and released it after weigh in back in the canal at Peoples Park on Water St. Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge has some real hogs in it too.

a recipe i've heard that sounds good is put the carp on a cherry plank. season with salt, pepper and juice from one lemon. bake in the oven at 350 for 12 minutes per inch of thickness. when it's done throw away the fish and eat the cherry plank. if this rain ever stops long enough for the water to settle, i think i'll give it a try. don [/b]
i think i'll stick to my recipe. i know it's all in my head, but, i just can't bring myself to eat a carp. don

Way to go guys! I was seriously going to try bowfishing this year. a pending surgery will prevent that though. Thanks for posting pics and taking me along. Good luck out there.

IndianaBowman · « **Reply #75 on:** June 11, 2011, 03:00:00 PM »

Jamie, I still can't believe your bad luck. I'm praying for your fast recovery my friend.

ishiwannabe · « **Reply #76 on:** June 11, 2011, 03:46:00 PM »

Terry, I appreciate it my friend. I actually fell while striper fishing(running for my pole) and hit the rocks pretty hard. On top of that, I missed the striper! lol.
I have a few weeks of physical therapy, then they want to operate. Either way, I will be ok, and I will be hunting this fall.
Keep the fish coming guys. Enjoying this thread a lot.

They just weren't moving today, the two young men had only one shot apiece, all i did was control the boat Kevin had my rig.
