Fishing Techniques

• For Trahira

  Target structure like weed beds and submerged logs, as traíra are ambush predators. Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs.

• For Common carp

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

• For Pale catfish

  Fish near submerged structures, as pale catfish often congregate in these areas. Use a slow retrieve, allowing the bait or lure to stay in the strike zone longer.
