Paul:
Thanks for the report on your experience with Grass Carp. It certainly makes me think about things. But, even the strongest proponents of Grass Carp, such as Bill Cody, have counseled me that you got to start in small numbers and work your way up from there. Even my fish supplier, who's there to make a sale, has said maybe we otta hold off until next fall to see if any more should be added to my pond.
So, I'm diverting my remaining funds this year to some more forage fish (golden shiners), a few more perch (yes, I know they're not that great for a bass pond), and maybe one or two more Grass Carp to replace the one that died and any others who may pass on over the months ahead, bringing the total to 11 in a 1.75 acre pond.
Thanks again for the post.
