Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Corrective stocking Sterile Carp Removal

davebic, Welcome to PB!

There are a few ways to catch them. If you can show up at the pond at the same time every day and throw out pelleted food, they might start eating that, then it's an easy catch by using Stubby Steve's Pellet bait, or a clump of pellets tied with pantyhose and threaded on a hook.

I used to catch common carp by chumming the water with a can of whole kernel corn, then fishing in that area with corn threaded on a hook.

The other way to catch them (and it's safer than shooting into the water with a .22) is bowfishing.
