Prawning in Victoria
With summer just around the corner I want to go prawning somewhere in Victoria.
I have never caught live prawns before so I am after suggestions as to where to go, when to go and how to catch them.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Creme

Pfffft patience ain't needed, I used to go out for an hour and come back with 5kg in my spots. Will be going again this summer/autumn
Pick your weather, tides and moon phase and you should be ok for a feed.
All you need is a dip net, a good underwater light and a sack to put the prawns in.

I'm not positive, but I can remember yrs ago a pro netter out of lakes told me they don't come past the prom, though I could be wrong.
