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

• For Bidyan perch

  Target Bidyan perch around submerged structure like logs and weed beds, and vary your retrieve speed until you find what triggers a strike.

• For Common carp

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