In my past prawning this year, I have had little luck. I think it has to do with 2 major factors.
#1 the volume of prawns in the area I am fishing is low #2 my gear is not setting properly.
I've got my string rigged with 2 traps, with about 2 lbs of lead wieght per trap, with 400' of poly spliced to 100' of leaded rope, attached to my buoy. Traps are set about 30-40 feet apart.
When we drop them, we throw the first off the stern, followed by the second, then we slowly troll out the line and toss the buoy. The traps once in the water seem to sink just fine.
We dont use a puller (yet...holy hell its coming soon!! haha) but with 3 guys we keep a steady pull until we are at the top....
Is my technique a workable one or am I doing something wrong? Or am I just fishing the wrong spot. We always get a few prawns, literally a few, but I'm hoping to pull one up busting with them, so I can try and stock the freezer!
Any advice is as usual, appreciated!
Thanks !
