I was at Lakes Entrance at the weekend, went to Lake Tyres for a look on Sat night. I couldn't believe the amount of people there, it would have been a kilometre walk from where the last car was parked to the water. The lake was lit-up like a small city, easy 500 people prawning!

I was fishing on Saturday night, wading the sand flats opposite the old Club Hotel in Lakes, throwing plastics for flattys. I was probably 10 minutes into it when I stood on a Cobbler, it stung me right in the joint under my big toe. I had a brisk 5 min walk to the car and by this time it was really painful, flew back to my mate's place and put my foot in a bucket of hot water. After about 2 hours the pain gradually subsided, the swollen joint went down a day later. Lesson learnt...? Listen to my mate and wear foot protection at night.

When I was out last month we pulled into Kalimna jetty area of lakes for a suss.

If there wasn't 500 cobbler in the shallows there I'll eat my hat. Was a nasty little patch.

I'd pulled the trigger on another lakes trip for this weekend. Paid for accomodation. Then saw the weather had changed to peeing rain. Promptly cancelled the trip.

I was talking to a local guy about it, he was saying the same, they are everywhere at the moment.

Yeah they are shockers. Cobblers are almost worse than bulleye gurnard.
I have been taking the boat prawning. Motor across to the other side and get away from the crowds.
Tonight's dinner, stir-fried prawns and KGW fillets. A glass or 2 of wine. burp!
