how to catch a salmon with a float fished prawn

[@eatsleepheal4420]

Way I see it the man done a great tutorial and if there 's no fish running nothing you can do bout that ! Bet if a run of fish 🐟 was in it he'd a been bang on

Good video I will try this out next time I'm on the River Forth up here in Scotland it looks similar to the water you're fishing here, just need to find the correct float and I'm sorted. thanks for posting the video.

no problem = good luck

[@rowangliori7658]

Shrimp and prawn baits are banned on the Forth system :/

[@PaulGreenacre]

must be too effective

[@jamesrogers771]

Could make it easier by tying an egg loop putting the hook through the front part of the shrimp and putting the loop around the tail to tighten it out. floats same whay

[@PaulGreenacre]

thanks James - might give that ago

Hi Paul, Have you ever tried fishing roe balls using a similar set up? Works very well for all Pacific salmon. No reason why it wouldn't work for Atlantics??

[@PaulGreenacre]

+Alan Durrant thanks Alan, Ill have to check if that bait is permissible - if so its worth a go!

[@kennymoore6582]

+Paul Greenacre it's illegal to use roe as bait

[@michaelspencer7183]

but you never caught a salmon ?

Where abouts in christchurch is this?

[@PaulGreenacre]

Is it an 11' or 12' rod? You said it was both! But...you might just as well have said you were fishing for a gudgeon...you didn't catch one of those, either! :-)

[@neilmason158]

what sort of rod

[@PaulGreenacre]

neil mason gary fonden special - 12 foot barbel rod

I thought freshly caught prawns were a kind of grey transparent colour. This one has a pink cooked look about it.

[@jaymunro9061]

They are usually died purple and red

[@noelfleming3567]

Or just boil them for a few min they turn pink

[@dionlindsay2]

@@noelfleming3567 Looking back I was probably puzzled that salmon wouldn't be put off by cooked prawns in the wild. But, sure, since salmon returning from the sea aren't big eaters in the first place...

[@noelfleming3567]

I have fished prawns for yrs we get them along d coast and cook them in purple or red dye for a few min boil some in clean water they turn pink dry them out in d air usually on newspaper them salt them or keep them glycerin them last a long time
