Pine River jew double-up!

Hey mate, how do you rig your live prawns? through the tail? or just thread through the body like you would with a dead prawn? ta

I use a 1/0 or 2/0 French pattern hook once through the second last segment of the prawn's body before the tail, from the side. Make sure you don't go too low on the body because the prawns nerve cord runs along the bottom of its body and if you damage it the prawn will die quickly.

nice fishe there mate!
just wondering where is the pine?

cheers James!!!

Hi James

The Pine River runs from the gap between Sandgate and Redcliffe (crossed by the Hornibrook and Houghton Highways) up past Dohle's Rocks, Deep Water Bend, under the freeway bridges just past Bald Hills where the Gateway Road joins the highway and up to Lawnton/Petrie. It's navigable up to Petrie but is a canoe or kayak proposition after that, almost as far as the North Pine Dam (you can't get much above Draper's Crossing at Warner).
Here's a Google Earth pic of the area
