Banana Prawns good haul

[dayoo]

These good sized banana prawns were caught last night off the bank by my fishing buddy Frank the fishing machine and his prawning mate. Frank said that they were not plentiful as he and his mate had to work bloody hard for about 5 hours with only a few prawns per cast. The prawns are not properly schooled up and the secret of success is know what stage of the tide is working best for the area you are prawning. Work the area methodically and don't cast into the same spot for at least 10 minutes.

The prawns should improve further over the next few weeks around Moreton Bay and its tributaries.

This will be the last estuary report I post due to unwarranted and negative comments from the fish kissers but I will concentrate on offshore reports in future .

Good fishing and prawning to all you estuary fishos who fish for a feed.

Cheers
Barry

You're OK mate its the tossers on another thread who riled me.
I will make up a buddy list of like minded Ausfish members and only make my reports available to them in future and share some knowledge gained over 40 years of fishing SE Qld.

Cheers
Barry

dont be shy on the reports Barry, that is a cracker haul of Prawns.
If you have been fishing SE Qld for 40 years you deserve to take as many feeds of Prawns as you like

Please keep the reports coming don't let them win. I enjoy eating fresh water barra and i will continue to post and eat with in the law and regulatings. as i am sure you also do.

[Chuckmeister]

Don't let a few get to you. Most people here are helpful and have well-balanced opinions and it's good if they remain the majority, keeping this a worthwhile site. Moreover, these same people are responsible fishermen who want nothing more than to protect that which they enjoy. So what if they take a few fish home, most people don't care. It's only a few self-righteous people that openly criticize every perceived 'injustice' against our tasty piscatorial friends.

May I also add, that I'm sure that there are pure catch and release fishermen out there who couldn't give a rat's backside that a couple of fish are taken home by someone.

Cheers,

Nice catch Barry. Hope you enjoy eating the number 1 prize of the ocean. Well that's my opinion.

[marty_z]

Nice haul mate. I am with the others - keep the reports coming. It is photos like yours that keep those of us that struggle to get a kilo hopeful one day we can do just as well. Unfortunately it is always the many that suffer because of the few

BTW - I release the majority of the fish I catch but always keep a Flattie for dinner that night. Yes I have been known to preach C&R but only on my own posts. As long as people aren't breaking the law, it is their right to keep fish, and I won't be knocking them for it.

Does Frank the Fishing Machine need an apprentice

Weve already lost too many informative and helpful posters to thickheads.......dont let em win. Tell us who they were and we will gang up on em.......that sort of stuff is just not wanted around here.

Martys attitude is perfect, discuss it on your own thread, but dont push it on others.

I hope you reconsider in time.

As for the rest of us, we should use the 'report' button more often. Mods cant keep track of all the threads, they need help.

cheers
