I Want to Eat an Asian Carp!

I have a few questions for the fishing experts out there: is it possible to catch them this time of year, would I need a fishing license (especially since it seems there is such an abundance and potential catastrophe at stake because of them), and where on the Illinois River do you reckon would be the best place to catch them. I have done research on how to catch them- when they're lively they seem to jump right into your boat or are easily caught by net. I have read techniques using dissolving lure material to catch carp in the winter too, but any fishing tips would be greatly appreciated.
