Baynes sound prawn depth

[FV Isla Rae]

I’ve heard prawning in baynes sound is productive at times. I mostly do my prawning Campbell river north and into the discovery islands. I’m looking to try down south, looking at the charts for baynes sound and where I’ve heard is productive to be by the north side of denman/ Buckley bay ferry. The deepest I can see is around the 200ft mark. What depth should I set at.

The locals hit that area hard as the oyster farmers do further south in Baynes sound. As far as depth----look for the deepest areas. 180 might get you sidestriped shrimp too. But what ever you do keep a large distance from the Baynes Sound ferry lane. Any interference could get a big area closed for fishing for prawns.
