You can certainly draw a parallel to varmint hunting, coyotes and prairie dogs etc... Some populations need to be controlled to better the whole balance. Carp and most other "rough fish" species are prolific and not harvested by game fishermen. However, every effort should be made to find a way to utilize your catch in some way.

I see no problem with it for carp and other exotic species, but I have a problem with other "rough fish". I don't condone doing this with suckers, bowfin, gar, etc. because they are native fish. now, if you want to shoot them and actually eat them, go ahead, but please don't waste native fish!

Carp, on the otherhand, I have no problem shooting and throwing in the dumpster. If I had something better to do with them, I would, but trash is my best option right now.

LOL! Mine go in my apartment complex's dumpster. I can only imagine rooting around for old doughnuts and getting dumped on by a garbage can full of bloody, slimy carp smile.gif

As far as I know it's illegal to use fish for bait for bear. Since carp have a season I would assume they are not comparable to varmints, but I've found no good use for them. My great aunt and uncle say they taste like salmon when they are canned, but they may have lost their taste buds grin.gif

Do some carp have a sucker mouth?

I can't tell the difference between carp, and really big suckers. Unless the mouth is the only difference.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      By Wanderer · Posted

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
