Schrammy
where were you fishing?

In my opinion the prawns (ie. banana prawns on the gold coast) school up best on the smaller tides leading up to the full moon, and are best caught on a run out tide, or the first hour or two of a run in tide. for banana prawns day (dawn and dusk) seems to be most popular.

After buying a casting net to catch fresh bait I have found prawns to be in abundance ie 4 or 5 per cast. Just after dark on small tides and on well light jetty.

i just go on low tides and dont even bother
about looking at the moon times. i have always
done well and at anytime in the day. fresh water
has more to do with it imo.
cheers dale
