No predators other than female yellow perch so if I added mixed sex carp I'm pretty sure I'd have a problem in no time. I tried grass carp once. They preferred the pellets. Since I feed so many fish per day I'd probably be feeding grass carp.


Have you tried the trick that George(I think) does to his grass carp. Catching one on a pellet and they never touch 'em again?


I have over 350 large yellow perch I feed along with over 100 large bluegills. I would probably have problems catching a few grass carp. grin


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
