Grass Carp

Myself and Devon born have found a lake that has Grass Carp upto 40lb in it.

The owners say that they are very whiley and have hardly ever been caught.
Anyone know the best method to catch Grass Carp.

Cheers.

Re: Grass Carp

We decided not to fish the lake that had the Grass carp in it and decided to fish Revels near Dorchester instead.

Can you beleive it!! I managed to land a 12lb Grass carp on a Mainline Pro-Active 18mm tigernut boilie over a PVA bag of 5mm Pro-Active Tigernut pellets.
I can not beleive how much more powerfull the Grass Carp is over the normal Carp.
On closer inspection they have a very similair head and body shape to a Mullet.

I also managed a 10lb Mirror on the fly rod.

Re: Grass Carp

lol. Nice one mate. I've talked to other people who've caught them, and said they come in like a wet sack then go crazy out of the water..

Well done

Re: Grass Carp

We had to switch the lamp off to get it in. Everytime it came near the light it went balistic. It was quite a handfull out the water as well.

Re: Grass Carp

Having been told that this complex was full of pasties, I was very put off! But PP finally persuaded me to go and off we went! Upon arrival found I had forgotten my club membership, but the owners were good enough to allow me to fish!
We looked around for a quiet Lake (7 Lake Complex) and picked the Pike Lake Quite far away from the Tackle shop. Then found I had Also left my head torch at home!!!(Great)
Fished simaliar tatics to PP but didnt have a run all night!
Very Unhappy indeed!

The Grass Carp did make up for all the problems I had though!!!

Must be more prepared next time!!!
