Fishing Tackle & Carp Fishing

They do not seem too fond of noise. If anything, it makes them nervous.

Betty DeFord and Kenny found that in five years when they led their 16-foot Jon boat through a school of silver carp, a species of Asian carp near their home in the Illinois River. As the corn kernels in a pan of hot cooking oil, fish began to jump out of the water. Before the meeting was over, the couple was covered in fish blood and slime.

"When all is said and done, we had thirty-some fish in the bottom of the boat," Betty DeFord recalls. "We thought we were going to sink.This is the maximum weight that had been added to the boat. "

DeFord admits that history may seem a bit exaggerated to those who have never had a meeting with Asian carp. But for those along the Asian carp-infested waters of Illinois, the lower Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio rivers, the story is all too familiar.
