SaltyGreek Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Went out with my mate Matt this afternoon with the goal of netting some prawns. We met up at 6:30 and whilst we waited for the sun to go down we flicked plastics on the sand flat for some flatties. The bite was pretty good landing 6 between the both of us in a short amount of time, the biggest one going 49cm. Not the biggest of flathead but still good fun. Once the sun went down we pulled out the torches and nets and started hunting our prawns. We walked up and down, finding lots of smallish prawns swimming along the surface with the mullet but we didn’t bother with them. The bigger prawns we caught were found around the rocks and on the edge of the structures. After 2 hours or so we had 25 to take back home. For the Georges river I think that’s pretty good also considering that we’ve never really done a proper prawning session. Has anyone else tried to catch prawns in the georges and if so did you have much luck? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Hey @SaltyGreek, 49 is a very respectable flattie and well done on the prawns - great bait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 You seem to have done pretty well with the Flathead AND the prawns. Hope you get some replies that will enable you to fine tune your prawning experience. bn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little_Flatty Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Some good size prawns there. A 49cm flatty is a perfect eating size! How’s uni going? You would’ve just started if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uni hasn’t started just yet Ive got about 3 weeks before it starts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 3 out live whilst we were catching them but none of them got hits. Maybe it was just a slow night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkin Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Good catch! 👍 I remember seeing people prawn at night all the time on the sand flats next to St George sailing club. That was probably 25 years ago - not sure how it would go these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
