looking for some spot too carp fish and suggestions
The city where I live is in Northern Illinois and I remember one year the were repairing the damn and the released all of the water below the damn which left pools of water and the carp were all over those pools. I can remember watching those African Americans came down to the river and they had stringers of carp that hung all the way down their backs and dragged on the ground just loaded with carp. I never learned how they prepared them but boy they sure wanted them. Of course I have never learned how to cook baby back ribs either but I know that they sure tasted good same as their barbeques chicken.
Best carp bait is plain old canned corn
Bahmer, when you get to Georgia I will personally take you fishing n be glad to cook you a meal that you'll surely enjoy.
Where in Georgia are you Pearl?

Well, what is a Hoosier? Over here where we grow cows on dry dirt, we section of part of the "range" into "cubes" about the size of a football field and see how many cows we can starve to death inside of the cube of range land.
Deer corn is kind of a misnomer in that what we are really talking about is a "corn deer." We take our kids to Sunday school about two weeks before deer season opens and we have them take dry corn that has been hand plucked off the cob, and glue it to cardboard forms that look like deer. The deer see them and come over to see what is going on and when the realize that there is corn to be had, they stay for dinner and we murder them and have them over for dinner and everyone is happy.
A range cube is crushed grain and hay formed into cubes and broken off in lengths of about three inches and used as a supplemental feed for the cows out on the range. The range is the open land where the buffalo roam and the skies are not cloudy all day. Carp and catfish and all kinds of sunfish love them. Maybe even trout would like them. You get them at feed stores, if y'all have feed stores.
Deer corn is sold in Texas in 40 pound and 50 pound bags with targets on the back and dried corn inside that you either scatter by hand on the ground or put into an automatic feeder that scatters it for you so you can invite a deer over for dinner. Feed stores here in the great deer murdering State of Texas sell deer corn.
Does that help, Mr. Hoosier?

Well I think I know what you're talkin about. Where I grew up in Indiana we had way way more corn fields than deer ( I saw a lot of different crittters, but I never saw no deer and nobody hunted for em unless they left the state to do it) and the corn that was grown in those fields was called, imagine this, corn. The stuff we ate off the cob that grew in our garden, was called sweet corn. So, simply put, we had two kinds of corn - sweet and corn. As for a range - well, have you ever looked at a map of Indiana and compared it to a map of Texas? Ain't a whole lot of range in the land of the brickyard. Surely not enough to cube up and murder deer (which don't exist) on.
Now I know that's a whole lot of information for a Texan to absorb. As your fellow Texan Willy Nelson once remarked, you can always tell a Texan, but you can't tell him much. So ponder all that, and one more thing:
A Hoosier is someone from Indiana.
Man that was easy. Six words.
And thank you for the explanations. What it says at the bottom of my posts.

I’ve got to say, this has become one of the great strings of messages I’ve seen in a while. Carp to pike minnows to deer corn and sweet corn and corn corn, to Hoosiers, and Texans, and back and around, recipes, invasive species, I’ve learned all kinds of stuff. Thanks all!
