Pickles Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hit Lower Portland area again on Tuesday with a buddy and able to snare a kg of live prawns at the mouth of the Colo. The tide and moon were perfect (low tide .6 and Hightide 1.1) the Hawkesbury usually fires with small tidal difference. We caught 15 small Jewies, the largest just under legalš and 7keeper duskiesĀ and a bag of small bream 28-34, but none of bream (or Jewies kept of course). It rained all day (but you donāt melt in the rain and the fish are already wet, so didnāt put us off). Out again on Friday with Raider āHughā and his young son, hopefully chasing Kingies in the harbour for the first time since lockdown. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 The prawns are running now - fresh coming out of the colo into the Hawkesbury and fairly shallow and with smaller tides and no moon they are around in numbers - and a good size. Iāve been able to keep 40-50 alive in the live bait tank for a full session (6-8 hours) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yo_jono Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Hey Pickles! Good to see your out mate, I should be back up that end of the river soon enough. Was wondering how you get your prawns? Just a normal prawning net? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
