Passing along info from the Laker Weekly - TLAC is reporting 6,000 hydrilla-eating grass carp were released (stocked) into SML earlier this week. They were released on the Blackwater in places where hydrilla had been reported. The fish are between 14-16 inches long.

Stripers going to eat good at least the big ones, I always heard that carp was the best bait for them from a bunch of the old guys on the lake years ago, they loved carp for bait.

Granted, this is from South Carolina, but I'm not sure I'd count on them replacing gizzards right away.

Stripers and flatheads don't care about the laws they will eat them anyway. Years ago you could catch all the small carp you wanted to, I don't see them any more like they use to be in the spring in the shallow water in sun.

They are the common carp, been in the lake since its start, were in river before that. Years ago before the shad were in the lake the guys used them for bait, used to bait places in the lake with corn and then fish it and get the carp for bait along with bluegills. Then came the shad and alwives that we all use now. You could throw out a hook with corn or dough ball on it and catch them until you got tired.
