Fishing Victoria Forum

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

lakes entrance can produce some.. and with enough patience can have a good feed

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 interested in this too, are there any spots on the bay around sorrento?
cheers

lakes entrance was slow for me lol

Found some small prawns in the weed at Weribee.

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.

Lake tyers goes alright\
