Hello everyone,

I live in southwest florida in the USA, as you guys know carp is the most underappreciated fish around here. I used to live in the northern US where i did a lot of common carp fishing. Since i recently moved to south florida i learned that there are no common carp here, only grass carp. Ive seen youtube videos of people sightfishing big grassies on the east coast of florida since their canals are very clear. On my coast the canals are not clear and quite weedy in certain areas. Theres a large canal system not too far away that connects a lot of small ponds. I have heard stories of people seeing very large grass carp sometimes eating nuts and various other things floating on the surface in there. Also people have thrown bread to ducks and had some grass carp come up and eat that. Ive been told theres 60lb fish in there but am not sure how to target them. For common carp i would just use a simple botrom rig with corn. We had a few grass carp up where i caught commons but never caught a grass carp that way. So since you guys are the carp pros, how do you think i should go about targeting these grassies? It sounds like bread is a decent bet but how would you cast something so light since any weight will just make it sink to the bottom?

Thanks for any help
