Prawning south coast


Recommended Posts

With fishing being alright at best I decided to give prawning a crack around some of the local lakes in Sussex inlet. Last year I managed a few but only being 6-7cm long. With the new moon being only 2 days away it seemed prime for some.

I learnt my lesson with a bad light and made sure I used a good one so I could actually see. Within a few minutes I saw a set of golden eyes in the light, bingo, and it was a lot bigger than the group from last year. Turned out the prawns were double the size from last year and will be turned into a pasta shortly. For comparison, the very bottom and smallest one of the night would’ve been one of the biggest from last year.

Good to see you out getting a few Isaac. So much tastier than anything you buy in the shops. 
There should be some good ones running in the inlet as well.

Thanks Pete, any smaller and they will be live bait .

Thanks Yowie, much action inside the hacking at the moment?

They are a great size! Forget the pasta, just boil them up, ice them and enjoy with a cold 🍺😜

Cheers mate, might try tomorrow if I manage more

Some great result @Isaac Ct - they are good sized prawns, well done.

(last time I went prawning I threw a handline out with a livie on it and bagged a feed of flathead and flounder as well - and also netted a few squid.)

Thanks Bob, was going to use some for live bait, just debating whether they are too big or not
