Carp not so shallow!

The MN DNR came out with an announcement to all bowfishers that the carp are still not going to the warm shallows! What they mean by that is this: Carp stay in deeper water in the daytime to avoid preditors and other things, But in the night time they move into the shallow water to rest or sleep because it is warmer in the shallow water (they usually move so their top fin is sticking out of the water about half inch on a calm night and night weather conditions). BUT because of all this Minnesota cold weather the carp are no where near the shallow water, which means no one can see the carp at night and if they do they are to deep to shoot. The DNR estimated that by the 3rd weekend in May all carp should have moved to the shallows at night making shooting alot better and simpler.
