Re: corinella sunday 25th
I've never done any good south of Elizabeth this time of year even though they'd have to move through the area. 6 pups though is better than zero at allchris seafarer wrote:Gummy tally...6... all under size..one might of been debatiable but it went back in..
Launched corinella 7am.. back in at 1pm
Drifted the corals = 0
Obseravation point = too windy
Elizabeth island = 4 gummys got wind against tide so last spot near the barge hole for the last two fish
Huge range of bait..but banana prawns for woolworths done the trick on all 6
Nothing eles at all... not even a flatty...
Wind picked up.. my passanger complained all day about the cold...but was great to catch up again after 18mths

Re: corinella sunday 25th
I got to ask....
Do you guys use a whole banana prawn? Do you peel them? How do you rig them up?
Thanks in advance

Re: corinella sunday 25th
Peel and set aside the shell and head. Cut the tail into 2 chunks and thread a hook through a chunk so the hook runs length-wise through the center of the tail. Prawns are soft enough that the point of the hook doesn't need to be exposed. You can pin a strip of squid to the point as well if you want.
Crush up the heads and shells and use as burley, quite often I'll find the shells inside a gummy I'm cleaning.
Fish love prawn, the only downside is that being soft it can get destroyed by pickers and tiny flathead quite quickly.

Re: corinella sunday 25th
I used half a prawn...but they are large banana prawns..
Peeled the first one..
Not the second one..
And both worked..
I didn't bother with berley this time and didn't get any by catches..so im thinking ill keep heads and tails for other species berly
Its a big learning curve for me to target fish..
Easy to go fishing and catch whatever....
But to target one specific type of fish is a real art..IMO
Had two lines out..
1 was running eze rig , and that took all 6
Other was paternoster rig...zero
Changed sinker sizes few times

Re: corinella sunday 25th
Interesting i wouldn't think a big size gummy would go for half a prawn tail.....i usually use a big fillet of salmon which i find works well.

It's not always big baits equals big fish. I have caught a 4 kg red on a small piece of white bait :thumbsup:
