    When I have seen guys snag carp they throw what amounts to a drop shot rig, but much bigger. Instead of bait hooks they have huge trebles. They seem to prefer high ratio baitcasters. The rig is launched across a likely spot, as long as it is outside of the "no snagging beyond this point" sign and then is ripped through the water with large swooping strokes of the broomstick like rod.
    As previously stated this is for rough fish, but anything else that gets in the way has to be thrown back. Usually these guys toss the shad to the side and when they have enough they go back to catfishing on the bottom.

    Tyme it is illegal to snag anywhere in IND. do to some greedy spoonbillers a few years back. You can snag on the Ky side,but as stated it is illegal to snag from a boat. Hope this helps. Chuck

    Bait them to the surface with a stale box of Corn Pops, then run over them with the outboard. (Wear head and chest protection while doing so.)

    And you all wonder why I bought a hardtop boat? It's more comfortable than a motorcycle helmet.

    Coyotes?

    I'd like to stake out the field and shoot the coyotes when they come to feed on the carp.

    Good to see people getting rid of the carp.

    I'm sure that IDNR is thinking about how to get rid of these stupid carp. But there is a lot of red tape that those in IDNR have to go though.

    These things should have never been allowed into this country but they are here now and we need to figure out how to solve this problem.

    You can bet that there area a lot of people wanting to get rid of them but this is a pretty big problem that may not be solved.

I was fishing a 7" swimbait with two trebles last year and accidentally hooked one on the ohio. about an hour later (12 lbs line) I had that 40 pounder in the boat. killed the slimy thing and threw it in the middle of a field for the coyotes.

    Just for laughs bait them to the surface with the stale corn pops when jet skis are in the area. That will take care of two pains at the same time.

    I like KY's effort to fight them by stocking Alligator Gar. These things get huge and wouldn't have a problem taking on a big carp especially in the smaller streams and rivers that flow in to the Ohio River. They are supposed to be a rough fish's worst nightmare.
