Greg Yes I see the carp on a regular basis - usually in the shallow water and running in groups - I use Purina fish chow - been feeding four years and have yet to see a carp at the feeder - I think I have around 15-20 carp in an 8 acre lake. My bluegill and catfish hit the feed so hard and fast when it comes out of the feeders that nothing else has much of a chance.
