Best fishing ever is Bowfishing I’m fairly certain of this!

If you like bones. I consider eating Carp the same as eating liver. Why? I your starving then fine, I have tried them both and I guess I have been lucky I have never been that hungry.

Try anything once ( except puffer fish)

I used to catch them in the Milwaukee River just for the fight. Then kill them and leave them for the raccoons and skunks.

They make great trot line bait for blue cats

I used to enjoy shooting them with a bow, but I havent shot one since I learned to catch them on a fly rod.

They’re better sport than targets. Great way to drink a 6 pack when it’s too hot to do anything else. Need to find more to chase with the fly rod.

I’ve eaten them early in the spring. They are actually not bad, takes a lot to get them good though. Taking out bones, cutting out all the dark red fat and blood line.

You got plenty of them (https://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/page/louisiana-carp-removal-program) and anything is edible for a Cajun.

If you only have a 6 pack what do you drink after you leave the boat ramp?
