Italo I was wondering if people fish for carp through the ice? I love the fight in summer but thats all, I hear they are not great eating but maybe its cause ive never tried and i just take other peoples word for it . I know they are well liked for eating in Europe and other parts of the world. Maybe its a learned taste or.. I dunno. If you could clear the air it would be much appreciated. Thanks again Ty ps. is it realy you answering all questions? (would you tell me if it wasn\'t ( : Thanks again Italo and as a great fisherman once said God bless you.

Hi Ty…Sportfishermen do not comonly fish for carp through the ice since they are very lathargic. Commercial carp fishermen can set gill-nets under the ice, or immediately after ice-out. Carp caught from un-contaminated waters are very good eating if cooked properly. In-fact, in many countries of the world, carp are esteemed as an excellent eating fish. I have done shows fishing for carp and I have also done excellent shore-lunch carp recepies. It\’s really me answering all the questions, even from Thailand (where I have been for the last few weeks scouting shooting locations)….God bless you took, Italo
