Now that’s my kind of haul. Couldn’t help but notice you are using the box traps. I’ve got the round netted traps, and I hear the metal box type seems to out perform the kind I have. Does that sound right? Might need to switch these out.Prawning was ok...

I think they mostly outfish the round ones because people don't take care of the round ones. They need maintenance to keep the netting tight. I've personally been a little more productive with these, but if you miss your mark you still get blanks. Which is what's probably happening to most guys that say the round ones don't fish well. Prawns move, it's never guaranteed. I'm generally happy with a 30 average per trap. This one turned out to be over 100 per trap. Lot's of info on the types of traps and techniques if you search the forum for threads related to that stuff. Back to reports?Now that’s my kind of haul.
