Shallow inlet

Post by Kimtown » Sun Jan 06, 2019 1:56 am

Heading there tomorrow for a few cruisers and beach fires

Can anyone tell me what the Prawn fishing is like there? I have never tried prawning west of the prom but I see no real difference between shallow inlet and corner inlet/port albert?

yeah i intend on catching a few LB. i read that prawns don't come west of the prom just like east coast snapper and vis versa for west coast snapper. but imo that's a load of ****. anyway, i suppose i'll find out tonight. :-D

Something to do with the Eastern Australian Current. Prawns would be more plentiful in northern tassie during the warmer months. Good luck

Theyre everywhere in Gippsland lakes at this time of year? Or do you mean west of the prom

The Eastern Australia Current Pushes past the southern end of the prom towards Tassie so West of the prom its highly unlikely theres any prawns.
