Rock Prawns 2.

[SilveDreamDave]

Now to conclude my prawn article: After the pointers have been drying for about two or three hours they should be stored in containers for future use (see below)



The purple dyed prawns shoud take between four and six hours drying depending on how wet they were when laid out.



Once the prawns have been placed containers they should be stored in the freezer, they will need to be salted when removed for fishing.



Above shows how the prawns should be mounted on a single hook, place the hook and the very back of the prawn and feed it on to the hook.



This is the purple prawn mounted on a single hook, most of the hook length has been passed through the meat in the tail.



Above is the fully mounted hook with purple prawn and pointer, the hook point should barely come through the back of the pointer holding it securely in position with the barb.



Above is the required tackle for fishing the prawns for salmon/fish. A stop knot above the float (very important) will give you the required depth to stop your float and to fish your prawns close to the bottom. The weights and bead to prevent line wear, can be fished between two swivels to stop tangling on the cast. From the bottom swivel to the prawns/hook you will require about 18inches of line to complete the setup.

Any questions on this article welcome.
