Hi all,
I’m heading out to Renall Sound on the west coast of Haidi Gwaii. I am hoping to get some pointers on prawn trapping. Last year I placed a small retail trap in about 250’ of water and had zero success. I was hoping someone would be able to offer some advice about Rennell Sound or what makes a good prawn location. I know I want to be deep 250+ but what else should I be looking for? Does dropping them at the bottom of Pinnacles make sense or off cliffs? (Thinking More life means more nearby decay). What about bottom types? Rennal is mostly mud, can prawns be caught in mud bottoms or does it have to be sand or rock?
Any help is hugely appreciated.
Cheers
