Prawning in Red Tide

[BananasQ]

Did a quick search, and couldnt find anything on this, but I was planning on trying some late season prawning in Sechelt Inlet but we have just been hit by red tide. I assume that during this time fishing is okay, but prawning would be a no-no. TIA

I may be corrected here but red tide warnings only apply to bivalve fishing of clams, oysters etc.

Prawns (and crabs for that matter) will not be affected at all.

that is correct, no effect
