Hey Jeff,

Amateur question, which hand hold what on the right hand bow and on the left hand bow? I'm confused on that part.

I think the answer is that everyone is different. I've seen right hand people pull with left and vice versa. It all depends on comfort and what works for you. There's no wrong way to do it. But it does take practice. I for one, just dont like that string right up next to my cheek. lol. BOW ON

Your strong arm is going to be drawing the bow...

What's so bad about Carp?

• Common carp are one of the most damaging aquatic invasive species due to its wide distribution and severe impacts in shallow lakes and wetlands
• Their feeding disrupts shallowly rooted plants muddying the water
• They release phosphorus that increases algae abundance
• Carp induced declines in water quality causes declines of aquatic plants needed by waterfowl and fish
• They forgage on other spawning fish beds eating all the eggs. Largemouth bass eegs being one of the main foods they eat.

I’ve eaten carps before. The taste of the fish depends on where you caught them from. If it’s from a clean place then the taste is not bad at all. However, if you caught them from a muddy place then it’s a different story. The only drawback about carp whether it’s from clean or dirty water is that it has a lot of bones.

@WLShafor Hmm carp are viewed as the pest in the fishing point of view. I'm guessing carp is an invasive species that ruins vegetation and what not. Some say they taste horrible yet I always see them sold and bought at asian super markets/chinatown etc.

Went out this weekend on search for some bigger fish. Didnt find anything huge, but a few over 20 pounds. Most of them were full of eggs. Glad to be helping reduce the population.
