Grass Carp

[4pointmuley]

My grandma lives in Salem right near Salem Pond. There is a lot of grass carp in Salem Pond. They were purchased by the city residents to control the moss on the pond. If they are caught. They do have to be immediately released. As for the ice on Salem Pond. I've only seen it freeze once in my life in the last 35 years, and it was just a skim of ice. The pond is fed from severval springs. Currently the pond has open water. I have caught grass carp before on the pond using bread. They are a blast! Most of the carp are pushing 15-20 lbs, and around 3-4 feet long!
