K and I were talking about where to go bowfishing in the waning days of 2008. Seeing as how we're all enjoying the effects of global warming, Florida is looking pretty good.

Anyhow, closer to home we have the Mackinaw River which is now infested with silver carp. We decided it was probably iced over which brought us to another couple of questions.

#1. Duane has told us that silvers feed even in the cold temps. Would they seek out open water in a small river system that otherwise freezes over?

#2. If they're under the ice and you smack the ice with a big metal pole, will they all freak out and kill themselves when they try to jump andbonk their heads on the ice? [8D]
