I am jealous. Being down this summer has only afforded me two trips to the water--both times off docks for catfish/bass/crappie/ and sand bass. Limited success both times.

When I was a kid we would sell carp and buffalo's to this old guy who would pressure cook the fish, meat fall off the bone and he would make carp balls, etc. I never got the nerve to try them.

I used to do a lot of bow fishing for carp and gar, especially when they were in the shallows for reproducing. Too many carp in a body of water is bad, but some is good for keeping vegetation down.

You guys are lucky to be fishing, enjoy it because if something happens and you can't get out and do it the memories will carry over!
