Lets get this current thread to the top
start posting here it a whole new year to talk about
fished over in the gulf islands yesterday for a few hours with no bites from anything chrome. Lot's of bait and gulls around but we couldn't find any fish.
Dropped the prawn traps yesterday a.m. and then spent 3 hours off South Bowen. Great haul of prawns but nothing to show on the salmon side.
... What’s a "great haul" how many per trap? Not sure if I should be happy with what I got. ...
best Ive pulled on a 2 hr soak is almost 300 about 50 holding berries and went back
and I thought that was a good haul, most of the time I get 80-150ish tho
I only let them soak 2 hours tho
When I am daytrip prawning (2-4 hour soak) my scores went way up when i switched the bait cups for bait small mesh bags 50/50 pellets and tuna catfood.More scent in the water faster.Overnight and longer I double up bait bags and bait jars 50/50 mix.
opinions or facts? do you think the pronz survive? thermal change? salinity change?
pronz also change sex when the herd needs females or males.
yes, i keep usually half my eggers dependant on how many i need for the freezer or meals.. i scrape the eggs off and use them. they are not wasted. mmmm prawnsegg rice!!
4 traps, a good haul for me is 50 large per trap...i soak for 24 hrs with pellets only. sometimes i soak my pellets in anise oil.
