worst night prawning ever!!!
hey guys
well as the title states.....tonite was the worst night ever and i should of canned it from the start???
to start of with my mate was late and then it went down hill from there....
got to the ramp and f...k me..... i left my keys at home........never done that before ever!!!!
on the way back to the ramp, everyone decided it was time to sit on 40klm, all the way down canning hwy...
back at the ramp.... keys in and off we goooo.......cant get the boat off the jetty, its like someone has a rope tied to us????
head out to our spot and then i cant drop the anchor in the right spot.....30 mins later we are set??? to the amusement of a few others....hope you guys are enjoying the show as theres more to come......
get the nets out..... and my mates from a previous night have taken the wrong end of the 2 piece poles and we are left with short nets
40mins later the anchor starts to drift and we are at it again.....by now i am very pissed off and my mates are taking the piss out of me big time!!!
all the jokes come out, and trust me there were some rippers!!..ON YA GUYS
we finally get 30mins of prawning in with no issues and then we start drifting again.....fffaaarrrkkkk!!!... right towards another boat...
sorry guys i have done this before..... many times?....trust me????
crank up the donk and drag the anchor forward until it grabs again,, solid this time!! right next to the guys who had seen our show for the last 1 1/2hrs.
how you going guys??? enjoying the show??
the pack up and back on the trailer didnt go any better, except for the part when we left the ramp....
i am going to cop it big time from the mates for the next week or so... its not like i havent done this before, but tonight was one of them nights you want to forget!!!!!
still managed a few prawns, even though the biggest of the night was myself.
i apologize to any f/w members that seen this fiasco.
i blame it all on goodz....who should of been my deckie...he knows what he is doing!!!!
god help us all

Good read Ron, just a bit unfortunate in how it happened! Makes you feel any better, went to a grade indoor cricket tonight and got a 100 run thumping in the first elimination final, awesome.

It happens to us all from time to time fisho-ron. I have to admit though, it is nice to read about someone else's misfortune for a change rather than living my own. At least nothing serious went wrong.

Hey Ron, was that Thursday
Hey Ron, was that Thursday night?? Was out as well!! Was a good night we ended with 590 prawns:-) almost as much as a night 2 weeks earlier where we got 800
Words out now the prawns have been running!! Had 3 good nights last week, only 2 weeks earlier. Went Friday night was fairly quiet. By far the best season I've had with the prawns. Helps we have sorted out locations, weather, and equipment! Can tell you now lights mounted do they are in the water are a waste of time :-)
Our number of prawns this season, 800 first good night, 200 the 2nd, 590 the 3rd and 180 the 4th. The 800 was in less than 2 hours!!! Had blisters on my hands from the prawn net!!
Had an anchor tangle with some bloke on Friday night!! He would of had 40m of rope out!!!
Scano was running late on Thursday night so the call was made that we had to go and leave him, 2 many boats out or launching!! He was pissed!!
Will post up a couple pics tomorrow, got my first leader prawn too!
