LandBasedKeith Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Prawning season finally started. Drove up to The Entrance with my girl friend to try our luck. It was quite windy(over 40km/hr) on Saturday afternoon but relying on the weathers report claiming it is going to be lower wind ( less than 18km/hr) at night. Lucky the wind forecast is correct. But the high tides time is incorrect(Willyweather) and the run out tides were 3 hrs late hence wasting the 3 hrs chasing shadow. We are there at 8:30pm but the prawn run didn't start until 11:30pm. The prawns are not big but decent size, most are around 9-10cm and some 11-12cm. I won't tell you how much time we put in but we ended up with 3.5kilo worth of prawns. Most are still alive and jumping when we got back to Sydney. Just the little plate of fresh cooked prawns(for breakfast!) alone made this trip worth while. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost mistaken high tide for low tide. Still plenty of people doing night fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koalaboi Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Hi, Tidal flows in Tuggerah Lakes depend a lot on the flood level of the lake and the size of the tide. There is always a lag of at least an hour or two behind published tides. With the mouth all but filled with sand, tidal flows are reduced, especially west of the bridge. Keep this in mind when planning a fish in the lake. KB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Very nice feed. Reminds me of being down at my mums place at St. Georges basin during school holidays chasing the little tasty things then making prawn omelettes 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
