PRAWNING the LOGAN RIVER - Finding a feed despite using the wrong net 🦐.

In this video I head to the Logan river to do some cast netting for Banana Prawns. Turned out that they were not schooling up in large numbers and I had the wrong net which made it hard work. However I still managed to come home with a feed.
I also show you how I use a cast net.
For some merch check out www.ausadventure.net
Let me know in the comments what you think is the best net for catching prawns.
Thanks for watching

Another nice day out in the Top Ender mate. Good to catch a feed of prawns. As I said earlier it’s good to see you back 😃👍

[@shauntaylor6175]

Welcome back mate,.good to see a video from you cause this weather sucks and we can't take our Tinny's out. 👍

[@AusAdventure]

Cheers Shaun. I know I have been a little quiet lately. I’m editing another vid at the moment and it will be one of my better ones so keep an eye out for that.

[@kerrygray2154]

Good job mate, you know i live two minutes from the Logan River 😂😂

[@dylangray7696]

Hey mate, look up Ryan Moody's video on how to cast a net, can be used from small nets right through to 12ft cast nets. Similar concept to what you're doing, but breaking the sinkers into thirds, one up on right hand, one dangling and one in left hand. I use this method and its easy to get nice circles.

[@AusAdventure]

Sweet thanks for the tip. I’ll check it out.

[@mungbean84]

Can also confirm, Ryan has the simplest, easiest and most reliable way to throw most sized nets. Haven't tried it with bigger than 10ft, but I don't reckon I would have any issues. Can't justify buying a proper prawn net, maybe in a couple of months when the rivers settle again I will get a chance at the prawns again.

I have fished the Logan for 20 years now. Great little system from the mouth to all the way up past Tony at Carbrook bait and Tackle Ramp. Barra, Jack, good flatties and Jew.. plus of course bull sharks. I haven’t had a go for prawns but seriously keen to have a crack. Got a good net just need to reach my self how to throw. Great effort for an hours throwing though! Keep up the good honest videos.

[@AusAdventure]

Cheers mate.

[@jamesr5741]

Definitely a good feed!

[@AusAdventure]

Yeah they were very tasty mate.

[@johnsipolis]

You done pretty well considering everything. Just a thought, when you mentioned you're using a lithium battery for your trolling motor, good idea. I did that too as well as changing my cranking battery to a lithium motor bike battery which weighs only 1.8kg. I've got a 2020 60hp Mercury on a 440 Renegade, makes a big difference to the handling and performance. Been using it for 8 months, no problems.

[@AusAdventure]

That’s good idea about the start battery. I saved 20kg by already by changing the MinnKota battery.

[@crikeymacca]

Maaaaate. Yep, get a proper net. There’s a few decent mass produced ones that are reasonably priced or if ya gunna get into it more often grab a good custom one.

[@AusAdventure]

Yep will be getting a better one before I do it again.

[@AusAdventure]

@@matthewmorshead2594 yeah mate it was hard work for little reward. I’m definitely buying a new net.

[@Shreko84]

How do u find the minn kota? Have u got spot lock on yours? I’m just tossing up on what to get vs cost and how effective it is for me

[@AusAdventure]

It’s been awesome. It has spot lock and all the features. I use spot lock all the time.
