Well it has officially started, the season of the carp fishing. I have yet to understand the fun in fishing for something you are going to just throw away, but Ben and his friends seem to think it is a great pasttime. This year they have found a spot to go to where they shot 600 carp in four hours. Filled up two 5 yard manure spreaders and the farmer used them for fertilizer. He says that carp are harmful to a lakes ecosystem. When they eat, carp suck in a bunch of mud or sand off the bottom, then they spit it out and digest all of the food that remains. Spitting it out makes the water cloudy and blocks out the suns rays, plants need the sun to grow so they can provide oxygen for the lake. (The first 3 sentences of this blog were written by Nicole, then Ben stuck in the last half).
