Casting nets for prawns! (Catch & Cook)

Ahoy fisho's, It's summer time over here in Australia which can only mean one thing! It's time to break out the cast nets and go chasing a feed of prawns! On this episode I head out with old man "The Phantom" for our first trip of the summer and manage to get stuck straight into the action! Once we'd caught our fill I head into the kitchen to show you a cool way to utilize your unwanted prawn heads and shells. Hope you enjoy the episode! Happy prawning!

[@themanunitedkiddoes6529]

not prawns sammy but crabs 😉

[@terrytailor]

That was fun Sam. It was to get out early and get a couple of buckets of those tasty critters. I didn't realise how much I missed them for the last 6 months until we had the cook up.

[@old4wds_aus]

The Phantom himself!! Its great to see you on the channel mate, you taught him well 👍🤙

What a castttt

[@kevintisdell1313]

Nice work once again. I look forward to every Sunday as I love fishing and cooking 👍

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

🙌🙌 appreciate the support mate!

[@cooperforeman8201]

I love this prawning then cooking bloody awesome keep it up champion

[@willkitching]

Well done Sammy! That's such a good tip about the prawn oil, I'll definitely be trying that one! I'm glad Terry's new net is already filling buckets ;) Tight lines mate

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah yeah he’s pretty happy with it! Enjoy the prawn oil, it’s tasty stuff 👌👌

[@jonathonms4906]

I would love to see a video on how you through your cast net

[@lauribrown7407]

Got to love a nice lot of prawns for dinner! 👌🏻👌🏻

[@anewrealm]

Never would have thought of that Sammy. Looks good!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Tasty tasty! Give it a try 🍻🍻

[@wrightackle1]

Those nets are ingenious! Haven't seen anything like that in the states. What we usually do with the shells and heads is make a shrimp stock. Then make a shrimp creole [basically a tomato based fish chowder, except you are using shrimp]. That shrimp oil looks good though. Wouldn't you have to keep it refrigerated if you didn't use it right away?

[@adilos3411]

nice shrimp catch and cook

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks mate 🍻🍻

[@samuelkulp3412]

[@patrickpeterson11]

When I read Catch & Cook I was expecting something else. Good video

[@joelhollingworth8472]

[@gordonpeden6234]

Wow! Prawn infused oil, Gonna try that one . Thanks!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Give it a whirl mate! It’s very tasty! 🤤🤤🍻🍻

[@andrewbeynon7998]

If I was to try this with blue swimmers do I have to use shells of green crabs. Or can I put boiled crab shells in

[@johngaljaardt]

Great video thanks, mate. 1 question as I want to have a crack at it. How much oil did you use?

[@kenevans1286]

Interesting vid Sammy about the prawn oil. Looks a bit much for me..Iv'e never tried prawning. How do you find them? Do you just go to a knowen place and hope their there . How do they look on the sounder? like a school of bait fish or differant. Thanks for the great vids

[@vicky-annblanch7575]

Sammy what’s that silver stuff on top of the esky, is it just for added insulation?

[@aceganter4478]

Awesome mate you need to do some old school drag netting and give us some tips

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Cheers mate, I haven’t drag netted in years! It’s a lot drier on the boat, a lot less stingrays as well 🍻🤣

[@jayjohnson9668]

Zz that's kinda the way it goes everywhere in the States after you throw a few times then everyone else starts inching in to where you are and it all goes to shit. But if you can get a cpl,gallons of nice shrimp then you are,a legend. We do this every year in SC USA and have been for hundreds of yrs! Usually have enough to last all season👍😎

[@Sam.moncrieff]

that was a awesome catch and cook i’ll have to try , but we don’t get much prawns in central wa

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah yeah that might be a littler difficult. You guys get crays though!

[@liamwindsor5854]

[@Antipodean33]

It's alright up in your part of the world, catching prawns in that tiny river. I use left over prawn heads, cooked and uncooked mashed up in my berley. I suppose the fishing is that good up there you fellas don't need berley. No wonder it's called Gods country

[@kizzjd9578]

Not many around townsville unfortunately.

[@michaelconnors7922]

Sammy bit disappointed with the amount of adds your showing besides that loving the vids.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

G’day mate, there should only be 3 ad periods in the 15min video? Just so you are aware, ads are how I make some fuel money back from the videos. Most of videos take a day to film out on the water and a day to edit. Without the ad’s and revenue I get from KZbin I wouldn’t be able to make the videos. You are always welcome to skip the ads, or you can sign up for KZbin Red and they shows you all the videos without ads. Appreciate you watching, cheers 🍻🍻
