wish we were still allowed to go fishing over here.
Hopefully this home detention will end next week and I'll be able to catch a few more snapper before winter.

Mark is in lockdown in N.Z hence the NZ flag :)

Oh, so you are just not catching any prawns. Maybe try using a trap. I know most people only use cast net but a trap might be worth a go.

There is nothing on the news about prawns that I can find.

There should be a surplus of supply.

Yeah I'm in lockdown in NZ - tomorrow they'll decide if the full lockdown will end this coming week.
If they lower it one level, we can go fishing again as long is we're not fishing from boats.

Yea can’t use trap as they move always on the move need a driver and a thrower as there always on the move . Sometimes mid depth or the surface once you get on them could get up to 50 boats banging and pushing but all in good fun .
 Yea where lucky for sure here but hope no one stuffs it as they will close it .
