Av used the raw king prawn's from asda had loads of success last season but nowt this season, neva tried cooked prawn's but worth taking some as you neva know?

 

[Fisherman Mick]

i sometimes tip off worm baits with cooked prawns, coalies love them.

prawns

from time to time uncooked prawn has worked very well on da boat

be suprised at times what will work, saw an old guy and his grandkid one time with a cheap little holiday rod and reel set they'd bought, had never fished before and he'd been told to use herring as a cheap bait - but he'd bought some kippers - they were hauling loads of small coalies etc in!

 

[Fisherman Mick]

lol I love experimenting, used to do it a lot when I tied my own flies, had the odd success

 

[skiny]

ya might as well try mate,used prawn a couple of times last year and had some success,dont be afraid to try different baits/combinations.liver worked when i was younger.

 

[codseeker]

used them on the walkway early last year tipped off with worm baits and had double shots of undersize codling but great sport tho

 

[Fisherman Mick]

I myself have heard of lads using prawns as bait.Coble Landing and the Call Center..... shots on the Tyne.

 

[treeboa]

i use unshelled tiger prawns occasionally, never had anything massive using them but still have caught

 

[Parky]

seen to lads using a bag of cooked prawns at Fraser's on the Tyne they were banging in codling after codling on them so i bought some didn't catch a thing lol good luck m8 always worth testing a new bait.

was speaking to some old guy on blyth pier on saturday mick an he reckons hes caught loads on cooked prawn over the years as they are smellier than the raw. Dont know how true this is but he seemed a genuine enough guy with years of experience so who am i to question????

 

[Mad as a fish]

Never used prawn as bait but read below its from a post i posted earlier.
Frasers had its moments also my best catch from there was 7lb cod its gut was full of prawns overspill from a boat that had been off loading its catch at the fish quay
