Crossed the pond (Entrance/Grande/Thrasher) and found a few just legal… few more just under…. and a buttload of toddlers.little lumpy ride home, but great day .

Anyone at the bell buoy with a weather report? Thinking of heading out for a couple hours.

I was out last Sunday with my wife, and dropped prawn traps near Bowen. We then went along Bowen to look at some properties. Came back a few hours later to no float. Looks like the traps were stolen. Additionally, a buddy who was out fishing that day had his crab traps stolen as well, south of the North Arm mouth. I spoke to another guy at the ramp who had his traps stolen that day too. I usually watch my traps while soaking and have come upon people looking over my float but nothing else. Beware out there, folks!!

Last weekend the tidal currents were very strong. I’ve had mine drift in much less current. ( if I wasn’t fishing nearby and watched them drift to where I picked them up I’d have thought they were stollen too )

Were your traps along south Bowen? The tugs pull barges through there quite close to shore where I often see bouys marking traps. If the barges go over them, your traps are gone.
