Carp fishing in lakes should be done with a slack line. The use of bobbers is not recommended because offer too much resistance when the fish takes the bait. Six-inch grass carp are then introduced in June to be harvested as 10-inch fish in the fall, after they have consumed all the vegetation. Common carp reduce quality of water by releasing phosphorous, which increases algae growth by providing this necessary nutrient that is otherwise limited in lakes.
