My contact is on vacation for a week, so we'll chat more later, but I visited the lake yesterday after work and scouted out the entire area.
Several fishermen told me about where they see carp most around the lake, and how sick of them they are.It seems we will indeed be welcome.

The lake is a dammed up creek where the water level gets high enoughon the downside of thedam for jumpers to get upstream into the lake. THe downstream creek also has carp, I'm told, but I'm not sure about access to that yet.

The water definitely has some clarity issues, and I saw 3 dead carp on the shore (3-7 pounds), and one jumper further out that went about 15 or so. Lots of bubbles in the shallows showing bottom feeding in progress. The spring spawn could yield a pretty good catch, from the amount of activity I saw this late in the year.

They also have a boat launch for larger boats, so we can get more of our crewin there. Not sure about shore bowfishing yet since the whole perimeter of the lake is private property. We'll see. Properties are big with houses far from the water, so people might not mind so much if they areeducated by their guy as to the benefit we would provide, with negligible risk.
