Hey Grizz,
Sorry to hear about the turnout. We'll postpone the party until the carp do their thing a bit more noticably.
In the meantime, you got any creeks or streams in your area that meanderoutside city lines where only the county and state have jurisdiction? If the lakes have carp, so do their feeder creeks and outflows. Also, if you have any farmland in the area that share the creeks, you might ask permission to access it there too, as long as the property is not inside the city limits.
Good luck.
