The only fault in this saga is the gutless politicians whom forced the importation of prawns, then did not fund proper governance over what was going on.
 
Which means, you and I, as taxpaxers will be footing the bill. You can bet the costs wont be coming out of politicians pay checks or super troughs.

What I am wanting to know is where is all this cheap seafood they cant move out of the control area?
Prawns crabs etc are still the same price in local shops!

It will be the full length of the east coast within a year, particularly if we get a late rain influence from that cyclone up north - push all the prawns out in to the ocean where they will mix before heading back up stream to breed...

I have just realised Somerset, Wivanhoe and Lake Baroon are all just outside the zone, and I live in the zone. That means if I fish any of these dams I cant bring any live shrimp home to keep for the next trip, as I wont be able to take them back out of the zone..
Less than impressed with their new containment zone.

Ok, I have retro fitted funnels to a couple I had made with soft drink bottle tops, with funnels.
First photo is a funnel sitting on top of a trap Ray gave me, his favoured smaller size ones. be brilliant for those I reckon.



First step, make the hole bigger.
Dont have a fancy oversize hole saw like ray, so the old hacksaw blade and gaffa tape did the job.





tried one pot with the frisbee pointing in, but it didn't result in a very big gap between the funnel ends.







So did the other one old school.








When the funnel is cut off, the depth is comparable to the soft drink bottle top.



The two traps ready for duty. Got two netting ones in the dam that are about to give up the ghost, these will go in as soon as they do.
