Default Re: Lake Hopatcong Grass Carp:

Grass carp do not spawn in our climates, its way too cold for them. Grass carp eat insects and small fish as well as weeds. Grass carp are more like lazy gigantic chub in their behavior and are nothing like asian or common carp. I say put at least at least 1000 juvenile grass carp in the lake. Half of them are not going to survive the predators anyway. Guys, stop being whiny little girls, grass carp are harmless to the environment, I grew up in Europe and dealt with grass carp more than any of you here. We use carrots and cherry tomatoes besides other baits to catch them, they are fun and they taste delicious.
