Big Tiger prawn

Big Tiger prawn

Hello All

Went for another prawn dive last night in the Swan River

Lovely warm evening, threat of a storm, however, this did not deter us rough, tough, hard to bluff divers.

Not many prawns about and we had to work hard for the ones we got, about a kilo each, plus 8 nice size crabs grabbed by another fellow. I think the dredging of the area may affect the prawn population. However, I did manage to catch a Tiger prawn. I have never seen one before, but had heard of divers catching the odd one. The other two prawns in the photo are typical blue tailed Swan river King prawns about 17cm long. Yummy

 Regards

Willy

Wish I could get a feed like that without having to pay $17.30c kg.

Cheers lads,
