They can be quite destructive during the spawn. There are plenty of carp to fo around cpr fishermen bowfishers and who ever else. I just dont like the killing just to kill them use them for something at least. Like you said bait, food something I have yet to try one but I have heard from several people that if cooked properly they are great to eat in fact there is a resturaunt someplace I cant remember where but one of these food critics went there and carp is their specialty and aparently they are always busy... I may have to try one I guess. If people are going to go catch or shoot them just to throw them on the banks at least try and find a local family that will eat them.......
My big thing is the carp are here to STAY it is almost impossible to eliminate them now. There are viruses that will only kill carp and if the government was that worried about them they would use it.
Look at central and upstate NY and several places in Texsas carp are bringing in TONS of money they are a blast to catch and in other countries they are considered sport fish in fact statistics say they are the MOST popular sport fish across the globe.
Love them or hate them they are here to stay so people may as well learn to enjoy them and many people have already seen the big picture and are guiding for them. There are already several specialized tackle dealers here in america that sell nothing but carp gear and baits etc. It will blow up its just going to take some time.
Like you said if you want to get your kids into fishing sure a dozen worms and a bobber they can usualy catch a million tiny panfish but grab a couple cans of sweet corn and hold on picture the
s when a little kid catches a fish as big as they are or just catch a bunch of small 10lbers....
