Welp, there goes the grass...and with the grass goes the cover for raising fish, so there goes the bass.

For those that haven't met Alx, that's him in the overalls.

Grass carp screwed the bass in our pond up pretty bad.
Makes for good bow fishing taking them out though.

I'd rather shoot them with a shotgun

They should've talked to the fishermen from Caney Lake before they did this

Also on False River.
Killed that lake once they killed the carp and grass beds. Posted on 11/4/13 at 2:11 pm to fishfighter
it seems difficult for them(LDWF) to find a happy medium. CLECO Lake was a great bass lake until they put in the grass carp. now it's a mudhole with not a single plant. Spring Bayou has some serious grass problems, but is still a good fishery. It could use some help in many spots, but really needs to keep some grass. Maybe once they achieve the reduction in grass desired they could shock up some of these carp and put them elsewhere?

The grass has not made fishing inconvenient. It has ruined the complex. You can't even get to where I used to fish, much less fish. This was absolutely needed.

The blackjacks in Coulee Noir are going to eat like kings this winter.

That is a lot of shite in that video. Looks like they need the carp pretty bad.
The other places where the carp were detrimental, was it because they ate too much grass? Aren't they supposed to be either sterilized or all male carp?

You can say that again.

well sure. in the original pic those carp are all less than 12". Go to CLECO now and see all the 20#-40# carp swimming around. they eat more as they grow, whether they reproduce or not.
