The engine noise in the water gets the carp jumping. The carp is attracted or annoyed by the engine noise. Instead of using poison, why not use noisy harvesting boats? Cover the boat with nets to catch all the carp that jump into the boat. Use a shallow bottom boat and troll back and forth. Or, have a staggered convoy of boats move downstream, covering shore to shore. Put the crew into protective cages.
