Live prawn Shagga. Although I got a few live baits (herring and poddy mullet) taken I didn't catch any fish on them. They either didn't hook-up or I couldn't keep them out of the structure

Yesterday's jew was the biggest I've caught in the Pine - to get the big ones (15kg+) you need to fish the rocky headlands or the beaches. Best jack was earlier this year at about 43cm, best bream was a few years ago, almost 2 kilos - biggest bream I've ever caught anytwhere. Still plenty of fish in the Pine that's for sure

Hi Nico

The rig depends a bit on the state of the tide. If the run is very small I'll put a tiny running sinker right on the hook - just enough to take the prawn down towards the bottom. If the run is stronger I'll use a larger sinker with a long trace (1 - 1.3 metres) so that the prawn is held at the bottom but moves around a bit on the longish trace. When it's absolutely slack I like to throw a live, unweighted banana prawn close in to the mangrove roots or pylons to see what I can attract, but you only get 30-40 minutes when this is possible

Yeah Keechie - more jew in the Pine this year than there has been for many a year, that's for sure. Everyone is getting a few - well nearly everyone!
