Fishing Techniques

• For Common carp

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.

• For North African catfish

  Fish near structures like submerged trees or rocky bottoms, as catfish often hide there waiting to ambush prey, and using a sliding sinker rig allows for a more natural presentation.

• For Smallscale yellowfish

  Smallscale yellowfish are wary, so use light line (4-6lb test) and natural presentations; focus on areas with structure like rocks and submerged trees.
