Irondequoit Bay Asian Silver Carp

[BRB23]

Went out for quick Walleye trip on I Bay last. No eyes, one Northern.... On the way back in we were under attack by these flying carp. They were everywhere. We had to cut the motor and row in.... I guess the motor vibration makes them crazy.

This is a major major problem... I did some searching and found very little on this... But they have made their way to lake Ontario.

Has anyone else seen this?

Just talked to DEC. guess they were actually Gizzard Shad... thank god. I feel a little stupid now, but those things are crazy....

This does not sound good. I would contact the dec, or the local officer to let them know of your experience.Lets hope this not what we think it could be. Possibly shad dying off, i know they are all over the genny now.

My favorite game is gobyball with a baseball bat at the end of the peir.  My nephew has a lot of fun hitting those fish.
