Carp
Hi everyone. If me and a mate were dropped off at kent street wier and kayaked up the freshwater part of the canning River with polarised sunglasses on. Or maybe even walked which would probably be more ideal. What would you rate our chances of catching a carp or a cross bread random carp (I know that they have a name but that's what I call them :P) that grows to like 1-2m and is bright orange? I was thinking going armed with a 2-4kg spinning rod armed with some little bobbed minnows or some small 1 1/2 inch soft plastics with a 1/24 ounce jig head.
so do you think I would have a chance of catching a carp? Or are there any much better places to catch them either than the canning, but within the metro area?

I've seen some big carp caught on fly, dragged across the surface and they come up for it.

Check some of the local park
Check some of the local park ponds , I know some in mandurah are infested with Koi , as a workmate of mine used to be paid by council to net them in a n attempt to get rid of them from the big pond in old meadow springs .

Beeliar lake/pond
Beeliar Lake/pond in front of the IGA has a few big ones in it probably like most metro water features. Once they are there you will never get rid of them. My old man has a dam full of them tried everything to get rid of them even dug it out but they lay there eggs in the mud and come back in the thousands.

Has anybody been to the park across from the bull creek bmx track and seen the little lake in there near the BBQ area and seen any carp? It would be cool if they were there

Oh and do you need a freshwater license to catch them? And is the best way to find them with polarised sunnies and maybe a torch to see through murky water?
