Cheers mate! Appreciate it!

[@dustymclennan4267]

Just a question why do people cast the net but not let the whole lot go, and hold the other end then let it down on the water?

[@cohenmacdonald3150]

I went prawning at cabbage tree and then we scooted down to the Logan but not much there

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Cohen macdonald bugger mate, apparently plenty of prawns in the pine river at the moment 👍👍

[@murrayprosser5082]

Great work mate, and some nice pockets hauled up. Anyone may think you have thrown a cast net before ....... I Shouldnt have watched that cos i am hungry now and want to go prawning. It was good to see other fishos being friendly and not jumping on top of your space. Have a great cook up and be careful you dont get prawn shell caught in your teeth lol cheers

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

hahah Yeah mate there has been a bit of technique practicing there. its very consistent now though! I've actually found the prawning crew are all pretty friendly, no one usually goes too angry, everyone just works together and has a few laugh! Cheers!

[@turbostyler]

Good stuff Sammy! i gotta get out pawning more!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

[@Killjoy1024]

Never seen a cast net like that, they are awesome looking and the way they work... are definitely different from the nets I use in the States. How much do they cost, and where on line can I get one? Don’t use Facebook. Great video.

You need to do a catch to plate on some chilli garlic Prawns Sammy!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

yeah I will next session I think!

[@picone00]

Duuuude I was hoping you would cook them bruz, next time?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

yeah i'll do a cook up next time for sure man. Boil a few and maybe some chilli garlic prawns as well!

[@teamfatflathead7581]

Love your work Sammy, but dont you think that’s a little overkill?

[@jordangarnsworthy616]

Team Fat Flathead as one of the people who benefits from Sam’s prawns, I say play on!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Team Fat Flathead Personally I don’t think it is overkill at all mate. I see no drama’s keeping a bag limit of prawns to provide for my family and share with my friends. If I was going out and doing it day in and day out then yeah that’s well and truly excessive. But, No different to keeping a few feeds of fish when you go on a trip?

[@teamfatflathead7581]

All good, i understand that, as long as it ain’t going to wast! Ha! Just rarely catch even half of how many prawns you catch in one throw lol. I’m just not quite shore whether everyone taking 10L of prawns each is good for the environment, thats all...

[@micklivin8418]

Ridiculous. If everyone boycotted the seafood shops and caught their own prawns, fish and crabs etc etc I would think it would be far more sustainable than what is happening to our oceans right now. Common sense really. Well done Sammy. 👍🏽

Jedd Sternbeck haha yeah, apparently prawning the studies they have done have all come back saying it’s sustainable. Makes you think though.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Also no where near as bad as what a trawler will do in 1 pass!

[@Justfish6]

🤦‍♀️Wouldn’t be any different bag limits on prawns are the same whether your using a cast net or a scoop net just means we would be able to catch them in different areas where we might not have before that
