LOADED with prawns! Casting nets for a tasty meal

Ahoy team, this week I head out casting nets for banana prawns and end up with a tasty meal! During this time of the year millions of prawns undertake their spawning migration. It's the perfect opportunity to bust out the top pocket cast net and get stuck into the action!
Net: 12ft Wilson Pro Cast Top Pocket Heavy Net

Sammy's "bit rusty" throw is equal to my all time best🤣

[@liamwindsor5854]

Same hahaha

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahaha practice makes perfect lads!!

[@DavidBerkholst]

Those drone shots were great. Something cathartic about seeing the net hit the water

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Appreciate it mate! Yeah I’m not sure what it is, but cast netting is always an exciting process. You never know what you’ll get or how many!

[@terrytailor]

Yum, some nice pockets there Sam. Good job.

[@liamr3866]

Love the Sammy hitzke spotters add on a Sammy hitzke video

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah was there?!? I don’t select which ads go on their so that’s pretty funny 😂😂

[@ttv_lachy2044]

Thanks Sammy for the video, I hope you enjoy doing it as much as I enjoy watching all the best.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

I certainly do mate! Appreciate the support 🍻🍻

[@user-tu3jy3om1l]

Good work Sammy. My shoulders and back are hurting just watching

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah don’t worry, mine were a little tender the next day as well 😂😂

[@TipoftheHook]

That is a solid workout 💪💯, competition is out there as well! Awesome video guys, loved it 🤩, keep them coming! Watching you all the way from Kazakhstan 😉🖐

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks for watching!! Glad you enjoyed the video 🍻🍻

[@mattspinaze15]

Finally watchable - I'm already 3 longnecks in though

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Haha that would have made the video more interesting 😂😂

[@user-td6kn3lr3l]

Loved the bucket cam shots !

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks very much!

[@goodcitizen64]

Thanks Sammy! Those are awesome looking shrimp/prawns and quite large. Ours off the the Texas coast aren't near that size!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

We are very lucky over here to get them at a good size! Thanks for watching 🍻🍻

[@benturton3358]

Holy moly! Some good size tasties there mate

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Cheers mate! Yeah the size has been great this season 👌👌👌

[@pah9134]

For a while there I was thinking more boats than prawns. 😊

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah took a little while to find them 👌👌

[@finnmellino2323]

Nice one mate we were out in the same spot yesterday and nailed a few!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Epic mate! Nothing beats a feed of fresh prawns! 🍻🍻

[@TripFishingMyLife]

Love it 👍👍👍

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks for watching mate 🍻🍻

[@johnwaddell8390]

That’s a bucket full of yum. As a x Queenslander living in NSW it breaks my heart when I watch this knowing for some reason castanets are illegal here.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah it sucks for that reason down there that’s for sure! Makes getting livebait pretty hard as well!!

[@user-gg8ry6ui5x]

Wot a ripper bro doesn't look easy but we'll bloody worth it great job

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah that’s it, sore arms and back by the end of it, but can’t complain about a haul of prawns!!

[@Offshore_fishing_sessions]

Finally 🎉It’s all good Sammy

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

🙌🙌 thanks for watching mate 🍻🍻

[@willkitching]

Mate that shoulder slip throw was still better than most of mine the first time the Phantom took me prawning 😂👌 great vid mate, made my mouth water 🤤🍤

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah yeah you always get a few interesting ones when you’re just starting out 😂😂 practice makes perfect though 👌👌

[@ventura9513]

the other bloke you filmed with a football,,, his boat had more electronics than a nasa space launch haha

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah yeah Ed’s boat is kitted! Helps find the prawns it turns out 👌👌

[@michaelbulla9231]

Nice work bud great feed there

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks mate! The prawn sandwiches got a work out that’s for sure!

[@michaelbulla9231]

@SammyHitzkeFishing I bet they tasted good bud

[@lordfarquaad2723]

perfection sammy

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks mate! 🍻🍻🍻

[@smee103]

Shame we’re not allowed nets in NSW done well Sammy

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah makes it hard down there that’s for sure!

[@kadengineering8983]

Saw your boat out there the other day from Macleay, lots of boats out there every day lately

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah the prawns have been on, that always draws a crowd! 🍻🍻

[@A.CFishingextreme]

love it

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Cheers mate 🍻🍻

[@pacman5590]

Blurgh! Prawns are only good for catching something worth eating! 😂

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Ohhhh dear, how can you not like prawns?!?

[@pacman5590]

@@SammyHitzkeFishing too many sessions coming home with stinky prawn fingers - the smell just puts me off! 🤣

[@arnoldrudder9624]

Fantastic mate 👍I have to have a go at that cheers 🍻

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah mate, it’s always a great time out! A must do in my opinion 👌👌

[@user-tv3ks7om4v]

Plenty of steak toppers there Sammy!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Bloody oath! 👌👌

[@richardmaka7603]

Sammy would you plse cook with cilantro again loved the other 2 lol

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

😂😂😂 I forgot about that! Will have to do another one soon!

[@downunderdave5417]

Take 3

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Third times always the charm 👌👌

[@scottjohnstone7520]

Sammy, have you ever seen “taping” the cast nets like they do in Florida? Take a look.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah I just checked it out, very interesting technique. Might have to see if I can get something sewn into the net. Would be a bit neater then using actual tape like the guys I saw 🤷‍♂️

[@camsfishingaddiction]

0:05 MUM I MADE IT! (green polycraft rig (very camouflaged in the background)) Edit: bahahaha hows the red dirt still stuck like wet shit to a rag on the bottom of the seat 3:35😂

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahaha nice one mate! Yeahhh cape York loves to leave its little calling card. Find red dirt and rocks everywhere!

[@lovingburnettheads2190]

Imagine putting them in a live well and using them for bait! That’s what I would do.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah that would be all time as well wouldn’t it! Flatties, Jew and threadies would be all over it! 👌👌

[@coreyhillcoat8451]

Need to put some tape on the bottom of that net to help it spread better

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah I’ve only just heard about the net taping. Keen to try it! 👌👌

[@mezame1626]

No way i could be around that many boats man that place mist get smashed 😮

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Only when the prawns are there. It’s not that bad, everyone works together and has a laugh, chats etc. it’s good fun!

[@mrwellington2613]

Just a question what you reckon is the best way to keep them fresh once they cooked

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

I just keep them super cold and make sure they aren’t sitting in any juices. Seems to work for 3-4 days 👌👌

[@shaunreid2026]

Great episode, mate. I think it might be time to get a cast net. Where did you get the sun visor you have on your sounder if you do t mind me asking as I'm looking for one at the moment.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hey mate, yeah definitely do, it’s great fun! That cover is from Rusler, they custom make them for all brands and sizes 👌👌

[@shaunreid2026]

@SammyHitzkeFishing cheers mate.

What another week with no video

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Sorry mate, weather was terrible and I couldn’t get out. There will be one this week 👍

[@seancraven2361]

Great, now take those ocean cockroach things and catch a good fish.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

I dunno, I think I like fresh prawns better than estuary fish! 🤷‍♂️

[@dwayne1655]

I don't mean to come off as a Karen here but are you paying the camera man or is he learning? The go pro pictures are way clearer and stable. That's fine if he is learning but if you're paying him I think he may have lies on his resume Sammy. Sorry for negative but it has taken away from the quality of your videos which I love.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

It’s a bit of an art form filming on a moving boat, I think the close up shots definitely ad to the production value, as well as the drone shots and everything else. There will always be an adjustment period when someone new starts, so will only get better and better from here 👌👌

[@dwayne1655]

The drone shots are top notch, and sorry for being negative but sometimes people need to speak up with hard stuff.
