z115491 Message Board Newbie Offline I Love Bass Fishing!	How to catch Grass Carp? Dec 11^th, 2007 at 1:40am Hey. Ive seen these grass carp along the edge of a pond near my house. I hear they're fun to catch. Ive tried regular carp bait with no luck. Any suggestions on what kind of bait to use?

A fish with a stomach full of corn will starve to death.

my personal favorite is taking my hoyt compound bow out with a fish outrig on it and shoot them. Its always a fight, but that probably won't go over well since it sounds like a community pond

Reply #10 - Dec 13^th, 2007 at 6:25pm I think you gotta use different baits other than bread and corn to catch grass carp. I use bread and corn all the time but the carp i catch are either common carp or koi carp.

I don't know how well this stuff works on Carp because i have yet to go carp fishing. But I bought Berkley Powerbait carp doughballs in a Natural scent, (which is green) I know the blue gill love it because i tried a small piece of it on a hook and chummed with it a ltitle, and the gills come up and blast it. So fish like it...is it a productive carp bait...I dunno

Reply #13 - Jan 3^rd, 2008 at 9:02pm Grass carp are an entirely different animal and require different baits than the common carp. What types of vegetation are around the pond? Trees, fruit-bearing plants, etc?
