Should we bring the Prawn Traps?

[GutZ]

Some friends and I are heading for Sunny Shores tommorow

We have been fishing the Sooke area for a number of years, but have never tried any shrimping. Is it worth the effort this time of year? What might be a good area to try? Was thinking somewhere out around Sheringham/Point no Point.

Any info would be greatly appreciated (and rewarded with cold soothing beverage!)

Thanks

It's good to have friends.
It's better to have friends with boats.

I have never tried it out there. So let us know how you do. Only thing I would say is put some weights in your traps as the currents out there can be strong.

Sharp hooks and full traps!

Those would be shrimp I believe that come to the docks. I doubt the prawns will be that shallow.
