Asain carp on the Cumberland?

[RUGER]

My boss and I were talking about the carp issue the other day and he brought up the Cumberland River.

We were just wondering if they were in that one too?

Yes

They have been a problem there for a while. I seen a sign on one of the boat ramps there prob 5-6 years ago. It was warning you of the dangers of boating because of the carp

Seen some as far south as Cumberland City about 6-7 years ago.

I saw them, several of them, below the Percy Priest dam about 5 years ago.

Put in at Johnson's Creek Saturday and was surprised I didn't see any. Although I've been seeing them there for the last 5+ years. I remember the first time, it actually caught me surprise when one landed in the boat.

Yea they have been in the Cumberland for at least several years. I haven't seen one yet myself so they aren't too bad

Absolutely. Was on the Cumberland not too long ago and saw them jumping out of the water by the hundreds behind a barge that was going up the river. I have seen numerous Asian carp on the river but that was the first time seeing them jump like that behind a barge.

I have not seen them above Old Hickory dam, but I'm sure they are in there.

Funny you mentioned barges.... buddy called me from the Kentucky lake and described hundreds jumping behind a barge. Seems to me a guy could design a cage or something you could tow behind a barge and "vacuum " up those fish!! Ha!
