Unique adventure

[Jo-boater]

My and the nephew made a trip to Duck Lake to check things out on the fishing and do a little frogging on he way back to Myette Point. Water wasn't bad but we could not find the fish till about the last 15 minutes of daylight. Ended up with a handful of bream and chiquepin, no frogs, a gazillion may flys, and my first air raid from a huge silver carp while frogging. The carp somehow ended up slamming his head into the steering rod and slinging blood all over. Not to mention having to transfer gas from one tank to another due to a bad air leak in the fittings sucking to much air into the fuel lines and the trolling motor crapping out after about 20 minutes of use. Water was nice but many places are severely choked up with hyacinth lilly. I had a video of all the may flys but I don't know how to attach videos.

distracted by the may flies just to be assaulted by the flying carp, just your typical day in the basin, the wardens need to let us go with our shotguns day and night and let us put a dent in the carp population

I've had them jump in the boat a few times. One hit my niece in the head once. She's a real girly girl too. She was pretty upset to say the least.

Do they come and, stay up long enough to get a shot on them with a bow? Could make for some fun bow fishing!...Worthless to eat but, fun to shoot!
