Stapo Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 So far the prawning has been a bit slow. But the good news is they are a lot better size than last year. These schoolies were hard to catch but we’re very tasty. As the water warms the prawning will get better. I wouldn’t get too excited as yet. But you never know. Cheers Steve.

For those who don’t know I’ve upgraded from 5 stents to 7. All good. Fully retired now. Yes papa. I was on my own when I caught those ones on Monday. Last night I took a friend perfect conditions calm and clear. Not a lot of prawns. We worked hard for 1 kilo. Lots of small whiting swimming around and one monster at my feet all night. Well over 40cm. Harder to catch on a line than you think. I watched him and he didn’t chase the prawns. I have caught them in my net before but he was too quick. All good fun.

If in boat the North channel would be best. Near the bridge. They come out of the weeds. But saying that I have not got any other reports from that area. Maybe next dark. It’s still only early days.

I don’t know. It’s very shallow. But I’d say at night would be your best chance and either live nippers or worms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
