Hello all,
Please check out this survey and fill it out. It could affect bass tournaments in Connecticut in the future. Also as a Connecticut "Summer" home owner I expressed my concern with the introduction of "Sterile" grass carp in the lakes. The lake where my house is is under a 100 acres and they put carp in to control the weeds for swimming. Now there are no pads and the lake is starting to have extra sedimentation along the shore lines. Also the carp have eatten the Milfoil where the young bass used to hide from other predators. I used to catch bass in the 5 lb. range regularly. With a 7.2 my best. Now a Big Bass is 2 lbs. And I see packs of 15-20 lb. carp swimming around the shallows. So if you want to add that the introduction of carp for weed control is not good it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe I.
