I have a pond and there are about 12 to 15 36" long sterile grass carp that keep eating my shoreline and its time for them to go. We dropped the lake a foot or so last year and hand planted a lot of pickerelweed plants. I also have catfish in the pond and only ever catch catfish when I try to catch the carp on a line. Tried all kinds of bait but it only ever attracts the catfish. I have also tried bowfishing but they are just to skittish. Impossible to sneak up on them. I am currently dropping my water level so the plants remain in a couple of inches of water and too shallow for the carp. I have also been told that electrofishing will not work very well. The pond is about 10 acres and 10 feet deep. Only other thought I had would be to bait with hay bales. Will the carp eat off of a hay bales if I put them in shallow water and try to shoot or bow them when they come in real close? Thoughts? Thanks!!
