How do you catch grass carp???

I second the cherry tomatoes. I picked that tip up a while back off of a "carp fishing only" site and they work. The problem with carp is that there is so much to feed on, they rarely get into a "feeding frienzy." In other words, if the carp have plenty to munch on in the area, they might be lest impulsed to have a bite. Unlike bass, bream, and other types of fish, carp can't be tempted into an impulse strike. So, they really have to be hungry to have a swipe at it. Be patient, use a small hook and a cherry tomatoe, and you'll get one. I went through the same thing at work. We have Japanese grass carp here in our ponds. They were imported specifically to keep the vegitation down. They are steril, so they can't reproduce. I target them with a bobber rig and the tomatoes. Sometimes they bite, sometimes they don't. []
