Over 38,000 pounds of Asian Carp was removed in January from Kentucky Lake thanks to West Kentucky Fisheries and the US Geological Survey. According to the West Kentucky Fisheries officials, work conducted in Pisgah Bay in January was Part 1 of a research project organized by the USGS, and resulted in the removal of over 38,000 pounds of Asian carp. Part 2 of the research project will be conducted Feb. 8-24 in Smith Bay at Kentucky Lake. Smith Bay will be closed to boat traffic during this time. The goals of the project are to determine effectiveness of the Modified-Unified Method, response of tagged fish to nets and driving techniques, and testing the precision and accuracy of acoustic methods to measure fish abundance.
