carp are out, fishing,bow or spear?

Anyone go out for carp in these ways?

I take the kids out just to C.P.R it can get pretty intense at times. Im not in to eating carp

Cpr? I don't eat them either I put them in my tomato garden and give one to the fox that lives on my land

Cpr...Catch, photo,release lol. Never thought of using as fertilizer

That was passed down to me from my grandfather him and my dad use to do this every year up at the old cottage in bobcaygeon. I'm telling you try it a foot deep

ive heard of people doing that before.
carp have to be good for something

I really thought that the days of just killing and wasting a fish were in the past.

Is a fish less valuable because you don't want to eat it?

If you prepare carp right it tastes very good.

2 sides to that coin. the term "wasting" fish in an opinion.
for example people like me who never catch and keep could say that those who keep fish are "wasting" them as they could have vary easily bought them from the store.

in eating a fish u r using it for what benefits you.
in using it for other purposes that benefit u, y is that different so long as you are doing it within the boundaries of the law.

Fish are actually becoming a big problem for other fish in many lakes.


not saying anyone is right or wrong. just saying there r different ways 2 look at the situation.

So let's say we took the 2 big ......ummm ..... bass in you avatar home and bury them in the garden?

Is there a difference?

read the regs.

check the bottom of page eight, under "general prohibitions"

- it is illegal to abandon fish or permit the flesh to spoil, if the fish is suitable for human consumption

This includes carp. Whether or not you like how it tastes does not determine if it is suitable for human consumption.

Cut and dried people, just because you hate on carp doesn't give you the right to bury them in your garden. Sheesh.

just my opinion but if i am not going to eat it ,would never think of killing it

I go for carp the humane way. a rod, a slip bell weight and corn.

hahah good analogy as yes that would be "more wrong" as bass is a more targeted species.

someone posted that any discarding of fish is prohibited so i guess that makes it all equally wrong
