those weed flats are filled to the brim with prawns-Went fishing at woody point few months ago and was really succesful, for bait i waded out shining a head torch at the weed and netting them and the bream and grunter were smashing them
Yeah, I was sure I saw a few prawns today as well. There was a lot of bait fish and things around there too. Smart idea going out with the head torch. Live prawns are great bait. I also got snapped off on a Daiwa Infeet Slippery Dog 80F lure. Something decent hit it and instantly snapped my 6lb. Cheers mate & good luck with your fishing.
@@nigiessquidgies i would guess it was a 40cm+ tailor that did the damage, either that or a big flattie. some guy caught a 78 cm one off the jetty and had to walk it to the start of the pier to get it in. im always to scared to go 6lb leader using lures because my leader knots suck and i dont really want to lose lures like that. Using the torch at night their eyes will glow pink so its super easy to see them-just 2 pink dots and a quick scoop. would recommend because buying prawns from bcf is dear atm.
Hey mate, I have worn waders doing this type of fishing and they are extremely useful. However, my pair ripped and I haven’t replaced them yet. I was just wearing jeans socks and good quality shoes. There are a few sharp rocks, stonefish, sand crabs etc so I recommend either wearing waders or jeans with good socks and shoes or boots. Can’t be too careful out there.

You wear waders when you do this?
