Twin was a disappointment last weekend, fortunately I found the greener pasture as well. 3 sets 24 Prawns at Twin, filled my limit elsewhere.

Funny, I thought the same thing when pulling the traps and then later when going by Cape Mudge.

Spoke to a gal up at Salmon Point and she said their channel has filled up from the winter storms.
Could be the same thing for Pacific Playgrounds.
Salmon Point should have a dredge in there early May, as for now I'm thinking 7ft and keep to the left when leaving.

Bumpy ride back today but it was all worth it with a 2 person 2 day limit of bugs!!!

We went camping this weekend. Tried our hand at prawning only to discover the same 2 guys from the fish farms across the bay, still had their traps out as they did 2 months ago. This spot is cleaned out of anything larger than a medium size prawn. Hopefully these 2.... individuals will realize they are killing off this spot and give it a break for a few months!!! They pull the traps twice a day and are moving the traps looking for larger prawns, but there won't even be any spawners for this year, if they don't give the area a break.

Can't hammer a spot every day without damaging the local stocks. Last year and previous year this spot would produce a 2 person daily, limit every 2-3 months for us. But it is all but dead for the foreseeable future.

We made a long run in behind Quadra Isle and found another area to try. Got lucky let the traps soak a couple of hours and came home with just over 1 person daily limit. These prawns were all large/x-larger size, but a couple fellas came along and set almost right on top of my last trap. I think that is called "corking", I don't mind sharing, but as the inlet is 2 miles long perhaps they could of at least set 100-200 metres away?
