silly prawning questions

[reese]

hi there

i have done some reading to try and get as much knowlage about prawning -

and i see the darkest the night the better - i see new moon is set for the 19th for south coast but that is a sunday and we are heading home then - is it worth having ago two days before like friday or sat night? will it be dark enough?

dose the time of night matter? or should i be focusing on tide more then anything?

tides will be running out from dark onwards (would rather have ago at 7rather then 10pm)

i have all the gear and my old man wants to have ago

just wanna cross the Ts and dot th Is so im not wasting time

cheers guys

Hey mate. I never ever prawn on a new moon. Best days is always 3-5 days either side of new moon so will be perfect for you. The later the better. I tend to find if you can coincide a runout tide starting to run about 9ish i clean uo from about 10-3.

Good luck!!!

Hey mate, I use this website to check the moon rise/set.

For example on the 17th the moon sets at 4.28pm so there will be no moon and it should be similar to a new moon. I'm only new to prawning too but this has been working for me
