I just got the 94 back issues of pond boss mags and read an article about gill netting carp out of a lake.

I have a 20 acre lake that has BG, Crappie, and Cats but is also loaded with carp. It will be several years until I can drain the pond and am waiting anxiously for that day but until than I would like to reduce the carp #'s significantly.

In the pond boss article it says they use 3.5 inch netting but were catching much larger carp. My carp are 1-3 lbs. What size of gill net should I use.

I am also thinking of dumping about 25-50 wipers every spring in my 1 acre pond and than transferring them in the fall to the 20 acre pond to help get rid of the carp. Would this be wasting money? (I would support them with feed as well)

The water is clear enough for BG and crappie to survive but not thrive. Do wipers need more visibility?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
