Default Re: Lake Hopatcong Grass Carp:

I hope this doesn't happen. Grass carp destroyed the fishing on Lake Eufaula in Alabama several years ago, it was big news in bass fishing circles when it happened. Allegedly, the grass carp ate just about every weed in the place, and then got so desperate for food that they started hitting lures.

Spraying might be a better option; at least you can target some areas selectively with herbicide. You can't tell the grass carp to just stop eating when enough of the weeds are gone.
