I prawned for two hours last night with some guests. TWO prawns between four traps in my sweet spot. And only one undersize crab in two traps.Wow, never get that many on a short soak....maybe I need to switch locations

I think they have a mesh size restriction - but dont quote me.But commercial prawn fishing is totally sustainable, they only take the oversize bred out females....right....

Beautiful morning on the water ... released 4 feisty keepers ... a +/- 20 and a high teener of Roger Curtis and a low teener and a +/- 11 off Worlcombe. Was able to easily release all 4 without touching the fish and could have easily tailed the fish ... starting to think about not using a net when fishing solo during when we hit “catch and retain” season.
Great morning out at South Bowen. We’ve been into 8 fish so far, up to mid teens. Almost all action on chovies between 100 and 130 ft. Sadly only a few boats out here.
It’s quite calm now. Light swell only. Very fishable. Best bite near Roger Curtis.Thanks for the report.
How are the swells? I’m thinking of heading out soon but am short on time?

Did you see any prawn in the traps?I watched a prawn boat pull traps in the harbour, right around the freighters, in 135 feet of water. Has anyone prawned the harbour? Probably the last spot I ever would have considered.
