Fishing Techniques
- For Murray cod
Target structure like fallen trees, rocky outcrops, and undercut banks, as Murray cod are ambush predators.

Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.
- For Dewfish
Fish during the evening or early morning when Dewfish are most active, and target areas with structure like submerged logs and rocks.
