while digging the other day i got about 10 or so small prawns (not the rockpool one) at the moment their sitting in a aerated bucket and appear to be grand. the thing is ive never used them off the shore, only off the boat for smoothies, so how should i present them at this time of year.

Hey Eric,

this is a reply to the same question from another forum:

"for prawns hook the thru the 3rd body segment from the tail, it's stronger here and the prawn will stay alive. see pic, hook thru once. i only leave a drop net in the water for about 15 mins at a time with a maccy head tied in there, a fair few prawns collected in this way."

There was no pic attached by the way, but it was just an upside down prawn hanging on the hook as described, head down.

Hope that helps.
