Where's the Prawns?

[Blackened]

G'day
Come sunday i'm looking at going out and chasing the prawns. They were in numbers out from nudgee last sunday and I got onto only a couple down the logan river on monday. I'd like to know if anyone has any idea from reports or experiance on what they're going to be doin this weekend?

I went to Jacobs Well last Friday and caught 1 prawn for the day, if I worked out the cast net throwing a little earlier I would have caught more.

I had two goes at them over Easter break down the Logan, Saturday we got a Kilo for our efforts, so for the 3 hours we tried, and feed a 70 HP Jonno fuel, I would have been better off buying from the prawn farm which I passed on the way to Rudy Maas where I launched At least I know they would be good quality and local.

Vowing to hang up the cast net for this season after that dissappointing run on Sat, my 10yo wanted to go for a run on Monday, and because the weather was ordinary for anywhere but Estuary, decided to give it another bash. I am a sucker for punishment, this time the prawns all but bugged out.

I doubt I will try again unless some good natured Ausfisher gives me a reliable tip on where they are ??

yeah but as u no prawns r there one day and gone the next as is alot of fish.... did u hear that a teenager caught a 42kg i think it was marlin in cabbage tree creek because it followed a prawn trawler back into the creek.... dunno if it was a local marlin wateing for a feed or because it was attracted by the white wash out the bak of the boat from out deep to in shallow???


anyway, cheers, troy

G'day
Thats an interesting one about the marlin. Although funny things do happen..... i find it very hard to believe. Dont see how a marlin could be etertained by the whitewash for a coupla hours whilst the trawler comes in from out wide. And also, once the water qulity turns to crap, it'd realise and go out again?
