    Banana prawns starting to fire

    Frank the fishing machine went out again last night to one of his favourite land based spots for a couple of hours and got 3kgs of good quality banana prawns around 20cm.

    He said they are on the move and should be increasing in numbers over the next few weeks.

    Cheers

    Loophole and Skipalong

    Frank has been prawning for years and throws a 12 foot net top and bottom pocket continuously for hours. The secret to successful prawning is know the right time of the tide for certain areas. Some areas will prawn well on the top of the tide, some areas incoming and some other areas on the run out.
    If I told you the precise info and spots Frank would be pissed off and he would have to battle for a position on the bank at his favourite spots.

    Have a look around, observe whats happening and you will soon find them.

    Cheers
    Barry

    He already has people following him. When he casts the others always stare in amazement even the yellow raincoats. He is built like a gladiator with great upper body strength. I have seen him cast a 12foot net with 6kg of weights non stop for 5 hours in a boat off Nudgee last year. That day was slow but managed our limit.
    He is called the fishing machine because he never stops just like a machine.

    No I'm not that old. I just look old from too much fishing, I'm his publicist. I arrange his appearances on Charter boats, trips with professional fishermen who need a machine to haul up the big ones, guest appearances at fishing tournaments, in fishing magazines, on TV and Frank the fishing machine Tshirts so that more people can recognise him.

    I also post all his reports on this site because he is fishing 24/7, he swears alot and tends to take things too personal especially if someone annoys him.

    Cheers
    Barry
