Went out to the Bird Refuge the other day to do some fishin' and seen about a dozen bow fisherman shooting carp.
I'm all about getting rid of some of the carp and having a good time doing it but my problem is people leaving them on the bank to rot and stink up the place. Every spot I went and fished had a pile of stinking, rotting, carp bodies.
Throw them back in the river or haul them away if you're going to shoot them! I'm sure the DNR really appreciates picking up carp from the middle of the road. Not bashing on the bow fisherman because I know the people fishing from the bank are to blame to.
(End of rant)
Fishing was ok. Caught a couple smaller cats but nothing contest worthy.
If we keep trashing the place they will probably close down more places to fish and have even more restrictions. Just like the time they said you can't fish at night past the gates because somebody vandalized the buildings out there.
