Hi Mot,

You can find the Kurpers towards the river inlet side of the dam as well as against the reeds. Take note there are some Crocs in the bay areas. Don't even try and get off your boat on the other side, its private property and I've heard the owner will prosecute you for trespassing.

From the launch site you go to the right and where the dam opens up you must keep left and follow the left side bank all the way up. Just passed the small island there are a couple of houses and thats the furthest you can go. The area where the houses are have nice little nooks and slipways that you can target. Another nice area is where the dam opens up toward the furthest part on the right next to the reeds. When you have reached a spot you like, make an effort to see if there are weeds below the surface area where you are casting to. If you are going to use a float start at 1 meter and work downwards till you find the Kurpers. Load the hook with 4 or 5 worms at a time, remember Blue Kurpers are very sneaky and the bite lets you think its just a small little fish, wait for the float to move sideways and down into the water before you strike.
