Likely this is not a new topic, but one that hasn't been talked about specifically for at least a few years or at least that what the search function tells me.
I was wondering the full depth range that people have tried prawning and the success rates of each. I have tried various depths over the years and have varied success at each.
The deepest I have got prawns is 415 feet but i think there was only three in the trap. The shallowest I have got prawns is probably about 160 feet but I've only ever caught them at this depth on overnight sets. My go-to depths are from about 270-320 feet. I think I usually do better in the deeper end of that range but only if I set in the morning.
Do you guys have various favorite spots depending on the time of the day, or even the weather? I'm starting to find some trends but I don't get out enough to really put the science to it.
What's the deepest you've tried and whats the deepest you've been successful? I'm debating whether or not to try a 600 foot rope so I'm capable of fishing the 500 foot range. Would there be any advantage to try even deeper? I have enough ignorant friends that they won't know any better about pulling that much rope. I do have a puller so it's not that outlandish or cruel, right?
Cheers y'all!!
