I want to try prawning the Georges this year but can't find the tips on prawning .I can remember reading it once but now I can't find it.Is it still available?
I have a quin Fishabout , quite old , it has a floor with cutouts for the side supports and long wedges screwed underneath to match the bottom of boat ,quite simple and sturdy
Hi Oz ,
I was told you can do it at the Rip bridge on the Central coast , as the tide rips out all the prawns are washed to the surface .
I have only tried it once and did no good but I may have gone at the wrong time .All I got was an undersize lobster !!
The funniest thing I ever saw happened up Mungo Brush about ten years ago .Watched a middle aged bloke back half way down the ramp and then got out and unhitched the trailer and proceeded to get towed down the ramp by the boat and trailer .Luckily the trailer speared off to the side and landed in the sand , better than going into the water .
Hi Mike ,
I have a Fishabout with one aluminium tube sliding inside the other and when it seized up I had to get a gas torch on to it and plenty of WD .Once it was free and cleaned up it worked like new.
