GLF Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I have a question. Is it possible to harvest these fish and use them for fertilizer, cat food, or something else of the sort? With as many as there are in the rivers.....it could be highly profitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caznik Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 As far as I know you cannot. Last year I talked to Gold Coast and Michelle had a gobie fishing tournament and she told me that the DNR got on her case about it. She was told that nobody can transport any invasive species out of Lake Michigan.Sounds pretty stupid to me, but it has something to do with putting them in your live well and going to another inland lake with out washing out your live wells.Cazzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLF Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Umm.....Perhaps I should have stated it as commercial harvesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caznik Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Just maybe the indian nets can help us out if they do come in. Tell the indians that they can have all the carp they want to sell for fertilizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
