Has anyone any info on the status of research for controlling [read eradicating] these insidious destroyers.
I certainly hope for a breakthrough!! We got ’em in Texoma and Red River. I believe to the detriment of MY fishin’
None that I have heard of…rumor has it that Sheepshead eat them…
I’ve seen some of the pics from down that way J. Amazingly ugly!
There isn’t any science in my next few statements…like normal.
It seems they’ve peaked here on the upper Mississippi River and the last I’ve heard was the biologist were wondering why. Although most living organisms will boom while they eat up all the food and then level off and the food is less plentiful.
Many folks around here attribute better water quality to the filtering that Zebras do.
I haven’t seen anything around here like the photos you have down that way where shore line rocks are covered with them. But then I seldom venture outside of the upper end of P4 the lower end of P3 and the lower portion of the St Croix Rivers.
Are there sheephead (freshwater drum) in Texoma?
I belive it was FLW Outdoors (walleye) an artical said there is a chemical being tested that kills Zeebs and only Zeebs.
Not infront of me at the moment, maybe someone will chime in. -Mark
That is what I’d like to do to ’em. Yes, Brian, we have freshwater drum in Texoma. Dad called ’em Gaspergoo. Most of us consider them a trash fish and look upon them with distaste. Nuisances. Recon I might do an attitude adjustment if they eat the “zeebs” is it? Quit usin’ ’em for cut bait ‘n such. Thanks for ans. jaybow

and thanks for takin’ time to answer.
Sheepshead ‘eh, ‘nother name gaspergoo,[my dads], same fish.
Hope the rumor is right. 
Go fish, jaybow
Howdy Chuck. Not at all fond of chemicals. Studied ’em for A.A.S. [Haz Mat] Thanks for ans. jaybow
Howdy Blue Fleck, Thanks for readin’ and answerin’.
I hope the Blue gills do eat ’em, I eat the ‘gills.
See ya’ jaybow
