Prawnarama

[Rob Pirie]

Jumped on the run of Bananna prawns at Pimpama this morning...Good Friday crowds in excess of 40 boats in the size of a footy feild but the prawns were a plenty with most boats getting there limit of I bucket per person (apx 7.5kg) of 8"+ Bannana Prawns.

It was an early start from the Gold Coast (4am) 45 min drive to the hidden ramp and then another 30min cruise to the prawns .They didn't come on for a couple of hours untill they raised from the mud and then all hell broke loose All the boats were scattered but when someone hit the mother load all the boats zeroed in on them like a feeding freny of tuna on a bait school....you were touching the boat next to you as he launched his net , it was a top day and the atmosphere was great with no agro.

Here are a few of the shots I took today.....
