Hopefully, in the not to distant future, common carp, catfish and buffalo will gain something approaching gamefish status and our government agencies will actually do something to help preserve fisheries that we can continue to enjoy.
Anyone, in my view, promoting or supporting paylakes is simply making a growing problem worse.

And please inform us all of the name of this north carolina paylake.
I'm referring to an Indiana paylake,

You're right I have never been to a NC paylake and how you describe them they sound to be managed much differently than the local paylakes around me. Paylakes here in Indiana stock 1000's of pounds every spring and then restock through the summer, somewhere on the paylake property you can usually find a dumpster full of dead fish. I have talked to a couple of paylake owners about this and they express regret about overstocking and high fish kill rates but insist it's what their customers want and they have to do it to stay competitive.
I don't sense much regret.
More like a big celebration!

Some of that NC paylake fish care:

Yea well, there's plenty of businesses that utilize natural resources to make a living-----nothing wrong with that, it's business, just the way it is.
There probably isn't a bigger group out there in the states that have been practicing the sport of rippin' carp longer (many decades now) than the paylake carpers (north or south).
Wish away, but I highly doubt the carp paylakes are gonna be shutdown anytime soon.
Just because it's legal (for now) doesn't mean there's nothing wrong with it
It being the unregulated harvesting of trophy sized carp and catfish that end up in paylakes.
I don't see how anyone who believes carp and/or catfish are sport fish can also support paylakes.

As if the fact that they take a natural resource from public waters to make money and run gambling wasn't bad enough already.
As an angler who respects the common carp as being a true sport fish, I'm always sorry to see the condition of the fish that massive over stocking causes at these places too.
Wish they were all shut down!

I'm working on a CAG brochure as we speak...
Every year on the bank I run into a good number of people who would seem to be receptive to something like that, based on the questions they ask me.
I like that idea a lot.

Mine arrived yesterday and have to say Big Congrats to all who put it together!
Really nice and greatly appreciated!
-
They're all great, so congrats to all.
But since I can only vote for one, that's what I did.

I would agree that the great lakes must certainly hold fish that big.

I've had a Smart Box for a few years. Great product!
