Blue Crabs in France where they won't eat them,, wtf?
They like eels better I guess..
Normally, I would feel bad and say we should have been more careful, but I just came back from cayuga lake,, It has been absolutely destroyed by invasives from the ballast water from European Ships.. Lake is loaded with Zebra Mussels, Quaga Mussles, Asian Clam,Spiny Fleas, Round Gobies..
The sunfish, rock bass, perch etc we used to catch with worms and bobbers are gone.. The only thing that a kid can catch from shore there these days, is Gobies.. Everything else is gone.. Bass that survive the onslaught of the Goby nest raiding get big but are tough to catch, because all they will eat are Gobies.
Caught a few nice bass using them for bait... You can no longer fish Cayuga with any type of natural bait other than large minnows as it is instantly swarmed by hundreds of those ugly little monsters.. So yeah, we sent Blueclaws over to compensate for the utter destruction Euro invasives wreaked on our big lakes.. Somehow I think maybe we got the worst of the deal... bob
