After all of the prawing reports recently, I received the call last Thursday to head out and try my hand at prawing with Frank "The Fishing Machine". I have never been prawing before so was looking forward to the new experience.
After receiving the news from Alexander The Weapon the day before that the prawns were around, I thought we may be in with a shot.
Headed out into the bay at 4:30am in perfect conditions (as it was all weekend), I couldnt care if we caught nothing as the morning was glorious. Then mayhem unleashed as the sun came up............
A million boats in a small area, raincoats and aprons everywhere, birds going bazerk it was just madness - an unbelievable experience.
Franky did the casting whilst I skippered, dodged boats and bailed water out of the tinny :). Man, can he spread that net! We ended up with a tad over 7kg and a 42cm flatty - a perfect feed for the Easter weekend.
Cant wait to go again and try my hand at throwing a net.
Cheers Deano
