I see what your sayin, and believe me, I dont trash fish on the banks(that often) and if I do throw them on shore I kill them and find a suitable destination that is not near the fishing areas. Usually it is somewhere that a scavenger will easily gobble it up. Thanks on the info about the randolph area. I have seen schools of carp out there that are of a population that I could not accurately gestimate but if I had to I would say 100-200 fish in a deep hole surrounded by shollow water runs. I have also seen trout (cutts and browns) hitting dry flies. Of coarse the carp are a little over powering and I have access to a crap load of private river bottom that nobody else is fishin" EVER"so if I throw the carp on the banks there the coons and skunks get to it before anybody who cares gets too it. I would frequent out there more often if a walleye population was established. I have seen 5+lb browns that have been pulled out though and I have also come across some rare years that frogs overtake the river banks. One year while duck hunting I remember packin a telescopic fishing pole with a frog colored panther martin with high hopes on catching one of the big browns in there.
