Got some prawns

[Wolly Bugger]

Bought some banana prawns with plans to use them as bait, but now I am considering cooking them up and eating them myself.

:Dribble: :fish11: :snap:

go for the gummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

[slinga]

I always hear of people using prawns as bait for Gummys but have never tried them myself...

Can anyone say if they work better than something like a piece of fresh Squid or Trevally fillet??

I can't imagine they'd stay on the hook too well.

I couldn`t chuck them in the water....I`d be eating them....

Mate dont use them as bait , eat them instead .

Bought some 7/0 Octopus Circles on special.

Think the prawns will fit on one of them.

prawns are almost the only bait I use for Gummies it out fishs fresh squid or fresh fish flesh ( trevs , yakka ' mullet or eel ) in the right places
those place are up on the muddy shallows in WP - nth end of the bay lang lang / jam jerrup
they do take it at the north end of the bay but the pickers - almost everything else will strip prawns off the hook

last W/E I got 2 gumbos and fishophil 5 all on prawn

the banana prawn meat does stay on the hook pretty well

by the way I also caught more snapper on prawn this last season than anyother bait - by catch while fishing for gummies

How do you present the prawns? A couple of circles one at the top and one atthe bottom? Peeled or whole?
