What do you do with the fish?
[cool][#0000ff]I admit that I have not always been "ecologically friendly". Like many other carpinators I have done my share of "love 'em and leave 'em". Hate to say on a public forum that I have left large areas of the lake red with buglemouth blood and strewn with expired scaly carcasses. Just cain't hep mysef.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]In more recent times I have made the effort to gather up the carp carnage into a heavy contractor bag...inside plastic containers...and properly dispose of those I don't cut up for my own use as bait or garden enhancement. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]They make great midnight presents when left on the doorsteps or inside the vehicles of people (or businesses) you don't like too much. I usually don't hang around to see the expressions of joy on the faces of the recipients but I am sure they are ecstatic with the gift of free garden protein.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Seriously, that is always a consideration...what to do with the proof of your prowess. And, that is one of the things I presented for consideration at the Utah Lake meeting...when suggesting that the public would probably be more willing to engage in wholesale harvest of carp too, if they had a place to dispose of them...and if there might even be some prizes or bounties involved. Don't know how far the discussion has progressed at that end but it will be a topic for review at the March 10 meeting.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]PS...if you need any help in "blooding" your lovely craft let me know.[/#0000ff]
