I'm in Nebraska and have a similar problem, but don't have near the water clarity you have. I've tried everything from a 100' seine, to trap nets to now I'm attempting a heavy stocking of blue cats. They aren't big enough yet to make a difference but will update as time progresses. I can speak from experience in a smaller pond that wipers won't impact them as much as you'd like.
Interestingly I ran across a thread here several years ago where a guy was attempting to use redears to control carp reproduction. I tried to contact him to get results of his strategy to no avail. So not sure if it had an impact or not. But Shorty and I had a conversation about this recently and he thinks there may be some validity to the strategy. Maybe he will stick his nose in this thread and give his thoughts.
