queensland Shrimp Traps....

[Angry51]

Hi all,  Just getting into fresh water fishing and would like to know

what traps to use for shrimp, Also best bait in the trap.

Also how to rig them, probably same as prawns I suppose, thru the tail.

Some suggest a few per hook, is that the go.

Just learning so like some advice. Thanks,,

Probably do a trip to Burdekin dam next week.

     Cheers

      Gary.

There's a good thread on this mate it should be pinned in freshwater top posts. Ray is the shrimp trap guru. And cat biscuits work best

Thanks mate, did a search and didn't get anything but just tried again got Ray's

tutorial so all's good.

Thanks for the heads up.

Just didn't think those on fleabay were any value, looked too flimsy.

Thanks again.

   Cheers

No problems Gary what are you targeting? Are you based in the Burdekin?

Yeah, up south east of Ravenswood, about 80k's from the dam.

Just chasing redclaw and like to look for some sooties or whatever we can find.

Haven't done any freshwater for 30 odd years.

Am retired now so have time to do what we want.

    Cheers
