Long weekend not good. Don't make a special effort. Wrong tide. It won't start to run out till midnight. I had a look tonight. Nothing. Win some lose some I suppose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. Nice. We sometimes cook them like that down there with a portable bbq. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Entrance can be 3 to 4 hours behind the normal tide charts as Tuggerah lakes is 1 metre higher than sea level. High tide in the ocean was around 3pm. So it turned and started to run out out at 6pm. We hit the water at around 6.15pm. Had a bit of a look around and found a spot. I got out around 7.30 and was home cooking them by 8. Watching the storm just get home. I normally start 4 to 5 days after the full moon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fresh water then I add salt. Tried the brown sugar and vinegar doesn't seem to make a difference. Maybe the sugar caramelised the shell for easy peeling but they are fresh and sweet they don't need anything but salt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Prawned with Marvin tonight. Totally different spot than previous seasons as The Entrance channel has changed a lot. But didn't seem to effect the prawns all school prawns no light required just put your net in the water and they swim in. I was only there for an hour as I wanted to get home to watch the footy. I left Marvin with them still running he's probably filled the bucket by now. Very tasty. So sweat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What's your recommended retrieve for those little prawns. Cast. Let it sink. Just a slow wind or do you add a bit of action as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very sad news mate. I don't know you personally but I am very sadden by the news. Take care Steve. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah some nice fish mate well done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like black fish reports Ryder I can relate to them. A few were caught on the wall over the weekend as well but they're there one day gone the next. Sorry to hear about your back I can relate to that as well. A few years ago I was fishing the wall the perch were going off I done my back and fell in a heap on the ground. I couldn't move just laid there on the grass the boys were just kicking me a bit because I was in the way. No sympathy. Finally the fish stopped biting and they carried me to my car. Got to get your priorities right I suppose they were good fish. I've fished and prawned with a tens machine and Back brace. Been carried out of the lake in the middle of the night with my waders on. Ha I couldn't get them off to drive home. Anyway hope your better now Andrew. Cheers Steve. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks sensational. Bet it tasted great. Thanks for sharing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's what it looks like out of the tank. Cheers Steve. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've had it in my tank now for 3 months. Still fresh as a daisy. Only wire weed. Not the soft stuff. I kept it simple just used normal fresh water added salt from the aquarium shop I have a filter and airators which run non stop and a grow light which I turn off at night time. Don't stir it just let it sit and take a bit from the top when you need it. Add nothing. I've tried fish food etc. nothing. Top up the water every month due to evaporation. I'm not sure it's growing but it's keeping very well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well done. Great fun and you don't need a net. Slowly get their head out of the water then a gentle lift. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
