| Re: get the prawns out I normally use a thin wire hook of 2/0 size and just tail hook the prawn so it stays alive.     |

| Re: get the prawns out no no , when i say tail hook I mean you pass the hook only through the second segment of the tail. I'll see if I can find a drawing or something for you. |

 Re: get the prawns out prawns make an absolutely superb bait for wrasse,and they are cheaper than crab, the best thing is that they dont even have to be well presented, i have used some dead ones before that i just ripped in half, sometimes they even go for just the shell when the rest of the prawn has already been eaten. just freeline them into a gulley or hole or something, positive results every time if you are doing it right and have a decent spot!  __________________ -Nostalgia ain't what it used to be. -Hard work has a future payoff.

| Re: get the prawns out This thread has inspired me to buy a prawn trap see bottom of page of this link PRAWN TRAP I thought at that price it's worth putting down from the pontoon at the boat berth in the harbour. Next day - see what fresh bait (prawns or weavers ?) we have to use. Anybody got any experience or tips of using such a trap? __________________ * <0((fluff))< " 90% of the fish are in 10% of the water " |
