Prawns : prawns

Has anyone had much success on catching the local prawns? What is it that you need to look for? Can you actually see the blighters or do you just have to cast and hope? Is it better from the boat or land? Would love to get a feed, I hear shoal bay can be good for them but I wouldn?t know where to start? Do you only get them at the start of the wet?

Cheers

Timbo, Just take your throw net down to Buff creek and walk towards the mouth casting it in along the way, you will get few nice tigers.

low spring tide just north of Talc Head, see FF book, look along edge of mudflat, look for one big gutter there. :mrgreen:

Need a drag net, its not illegal and if your looking for prawns its the best way to go. Mine comes out once year and i fill an esky with jelly prawns, not the best for eating but they provide excellent bait for the year. As i said it only needs to come out once a year, shoal bay on a nice shallow flat near the mangroves will do the trick 8-)

How do you go this time of year with the jelly fish about with a drag net?

Annoying but usually only a couple of drags so minimal stings, gloves & boots are the go :mrgreen:
