Banana Prawns in bottom of bay?

[Vickypoint]

I was wondering if any prawns are around the bottom end of the bay as yet. I would like to have a go at trying to catch a few this year. Can anyone suggest the best tide and moon phase for prawn netting. 8)

heard rumors of some being caught, but mainly greasy's at the moment.

March is when I get serious about prawning(down there anyway)

I don't consider myself an expert on prawns, but always found the full moon the best time to try - from memory the run out was pretty good. I will be going out Sunday for the first prawning run this season (unfortunately can't go any earlier - I think Friday is the full moon).

Haven't seen any reports as yet, but I will be looking around the mouth of the Logan and up river a little. If they are around, there will most likely be plenty of boats casting. That is how I stumbled across them for the first time last year!

I vaguely remember Nugget mentioning a few prawns have been in the bay already about two weeks ago - watch his fishing report on Friday night (Channel 10) about 5.55pm - he might give a few tips? (Yes Nugget, that was a request - please!!!)

Also check his website for a bit more info:

A bit early yet. The creeks have produced a few though.

I've heard the Pine River is good for prawns.... Never been out there for them though.... Guy I know said he filled his quota in about 10 minutes last season there!
