    well i know carp arent worth a damn to eat in general

    actually yes carp are edible but seriously TRY TO AVOID USING A RAPALA SKITTER POP TO CATCH NILE PERCH YOU WILL ALMOST POSTIVELY BE PULLED INTO THE WATER…….the caps was just so the words will stand out i’m not “shouting”.

    I really wouldn’t. Being a retention pond, the water isn’t moving, no fresh water coming in other than rain. The run off from fertilizer would concern me. Think I’d catch & release. Even though you may not get sick from the fish it’s the chemicals in fertilizer that accumulate in you & can cause harm later on.
