RE: Bighead Carp??
Ok, how about this info:
Bighead and silver carp are extremely sensitive to motors, day or night, gas or electric. If you want to get close to feeding Asians, try to drift in to them using wind or the river's current. If you are in an area such as below a dam where there are a lot of Asians swimming around, you can anchor and let them come to you. They are very sensitive to generators and spotlights too, unlike most of our native fish. Bowfishing with your spotlights on is not an option. One way is to use no generator, but have a second person with a handheld spotlight - when the ripples of the surface feeding bigheads get close, the helper shines the spotlight on the fish. Shoot quickly! I have reports that using red lights elicits a different kind of response from the fish, (they apparently spook when the red light goes off but not when it goes on), but I cannot verify.
Want more? Gotta run now - maybe I can write more later.
