Yes, Matty, but what would you call a cult who goes out hunting for prawns with torches in the dark of night, solely to use them as live bait during the day? What would you call a cult who places these creatures live on hooks so that their torturous death throws attract larger fish?

You truly have no understanding about fishing do you?
Spend less time with your sodomy fixation and pick up fkken fishing rod for fkk sake.
You're right, Big Hole, I've already said that.
Now you tell me one example of someone who catches and keeps prawns alive to use as live bait. One will do. FD doesn't know any.
You?
Umm me, my brothers, about half the people I fish with.
What the fkk is wrong with your wiring that you cannot, under any circumstance, believe that prawns can be caught during the day, in estuaries, and onshore with cast and drag nets, to be then used for fishing as live bait.
You are truly one fkked up little unit.
5 Yet another way to rig a shrimp for basic casting and drift-fishing is to run the hook through the tip of the tail, either crosswise or up through the center of the tail. The latter keeps the hook point clear of bottom snags. Many experts prefer this method because it allows the shrimp to kick freely and puts the hook in a good position for striking when a game fish eats the bait head-first. The tail fan can be left on, or removed to provide additional scent.

Australia’s favorite bait the humble prawn is one of the best baits available they fairly easy to catch and always available from your local bait and tackle shop. Whether they are live, fresh, frozen or cooked prawns are usually taken by the first fish that passes. Bream, Whiting, Flathead, Sweetlip and Snapper find them irresistible.
Drag Netting
Drag Netting is easy and also the most productive way to catch a lot of prawns basically designed to be used by two people the net has fine mesh with floats on the top and lead weights on the bottom and also a pocket in the center to trap the catch. Working the net over sand banks or weed beds on the run out tide is best. Before you use a drag net check with your state’s fisheries as all Australian states have different regulations for drag nets.
Cast Nets
Cast nets are also a productive way to catch prawns there is a small learning curve involved with using a cast net so be sure to purchase it from a bait and tackle shop where you will be shown how to correctly throw one. Cast nets a more versatile than other nets as they can be used from jetties, boats and areas like deep mangrove creeks to catch prawns. When Banana prawns run in SE Queensland it is a common to see many boats grouped together cast large cast nets and taking large hauls of prawns with just a few good casts. As with any netting check your State fisheries before prawning.
