Mike Clifford Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 I understand the DNR was out shocking for black and silver carp. Saw a Facebook posting of one below Wilmington. Any news on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark K Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 One would not think "ice spotting" would require training or equipment. Hey Norm. Hope you are feeling well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
