Triploid Grass Carp Information
Too many weeds and grasses ruining your pond or private lake.
We are the Official Licensed Triploid Grass Carp dealer for Indiana.
Price $17.00 Each (Delivery is additional and mandatory by law)
We will call or email you to schedule a delivery time! Delivery charge with-in Marion County is $65.00. For Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Shelby, Johnson, Morgan and Hendricks counties the delivery charge is $75.00. Please Email or call for prices and delivery charges for other Indiana counties.
Fish must be ordered and paid for at least 1 week prior to delivery. Orders and payments will have to be in before the delivery of your fish. Delivery is only available on weekedays.
Guidelines for Obtaining and Using Grass Carp to Control Aquatic Vegetation:
We only sell to residents of Indiana. We have to deliver the Grass Carp to your pond/Lake by Law! If you live out of State of Indiana or Ohio we suggest you contact your DNR for their recommendations.
Many pond owners are interested in grass carp because they are an alternative to chemical and physical means of aquatic vegetation control.
They were first introduced into the U.S. In 1963 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and were released in Alabama and Arkansas waters
for aquatic vegetation control. Today, grass carp can be found in most states between the Appalachians and Rocky Mountains. Rivers are
the preferred habitat, although grass carp adapt well to standing bodies of water.
The grass carp is a plant-eating fish that is native to China and Russia. It can grow up to 60 pounds and live 15-20 years. Although it is a
relative of the common carp, it neither acts nor looks like the common carp. The grass carp is occasionally caught on hook and line, and
some anglers think it tastes better than the common carp.
Grass carp grow rapidly and prefer to feed on rooted vegetation. Grass carp are able to eat vegetation because of a modification to the back
portion of the gill that has taken the form of a tooth-like structure. These pharyngeal teeth are used to grind vegetation so that it can be
swallowed and digested.
A major breakthrough came in the 1980s with the development of techniques to produce sterile grass carp, incapable of reproducing.
Known as "triploids," these fish are genetically altered but eat plants as effectively as fertile "diploid" grass carp. This advance greatly
reduces the threat of uncontrolled grass carp reproduction spreading.
Many agencies in the United States, both federal and state, began investigating the use of biological methods for control of aquatic vegetation
in the 1970s. Based on the results of that research, the reproductively sterile (triploid) grass carp was selected as the biological method that
will best control some types of aquatic vegetation in most Indiana ponds with the least ecological risk to aquatic environments.
These rates are recommended for the average Lake/Pond with Moderate Vegetation

Feel free to comment, this is a real email from a person. I'm not going to disclose their personal information. Though I found it quite interesting!
Hello- How can you look at a tiny, harmless worm and then stick a hook through its nose. Then feed it to a CRAPpie fish! Don't you think that this is insane? VILE? CREEPY? DISTURBING? TWISTED? SLIMEY? That is what you are!! Yes, siree! Wouldn't you agree? Probably not. that is why i wrote this letter. DUH! If you did agree than you wouldnt be poking a fish hook through a delicate little earthling! I own a worm farm. And you know what? They are like my family. Like my children. Like my babies. It is like poking a rusty hook into one of my babies! And every time you get your fishing bait. You are killing a worm. You are KILLING MY CHILD! DROWNING IT! You're sticking fish hooks into my only friends. You sick people are sticking fish hooks into my heart. Thank you for your time. Please email me back as soon as possible at jgo***@yahoo.com. I would appreciate it very, very much. Sincerely, Jibby O***
We understand his concerns and respect his passion about worms. We will continue to sell worms and torture a few ourselves! Muhahaha! Sincerely The Bait Barn Webmaster/worm killer

25% off sale contiued through Labor Day Weekend
we have decided to continue our Pre Labor Day sale through the Labor day weekend in our store. This sale will include all terminal tackle in the store. (Hooks, Sinkers, bobbers and artificial baits) Not fishing poles and reels.
Thawed Catalpa worms for shipping
We have been shipping frozen catalpa worms successfully for many years. If you have ever used catalpa worms you already know that they will thaw when left out of the freezer in a short amount of time. They can be refrozen time and time again without loosing their effectiveness. Don't think of these worms as worms more like a dough bait. They will arrive in a USPS Priority mail container and one freeze pack to help retain their freshness. But, they more than likely will arrive brown and mushy. Go to our website to order yours today http://www.thebaitbarn.com/storename/baitbarn/ViewDept-236404.aspx
If you would like them fresh and green order using the other methods that will include climate controlled containers and Fedex on the same page.
