CAPTAIN'S REPORT ASIAN CARP 01/09




Happy New Year to all ! Finally managed to get my internet connection back up and running after changing to a new provider and bundling five devices on a new 4G jetpack. In addition I managed to talk my wife into dropping our land line and thats taken years to accomplish. My two new year resolutions are still being followed, a diet and no more cigars. On the fishing front not much to report, the western basin was glazed over a couple of days ago but that will be gone with the 50 degree temperature on Friday and Saturday. After finding Asian Carp eDNA in water samples from Sandusky Bay last July, ODNR has posted a YouTube video on their website on learning to identify Asian Carp. Keep in mind no live fish have been found but finding eDNA was not expected. You can read the entire article on the ODNR Division of Wildlife Website under fishing.  If anyone has a questionable fish both Ohio and Michigan agencies have requested the following:

If anglers or constituents have observed or captured an Asian carp, immediately notify ODNR at 800-WILDLIFE (945-3543). Photograph the fish from nose to tail, and retain the fish on ice for verification. Photographs can be sent directly to ODNR at wildohio.com by clicking on the Asian Carp link and following the instructions.

Identification guides, frequently asked questions and management plans are also available online at www.wildohio.com. Courtesy of the Division of Wildlife.
