Just unfortunate that this month has been pretty harsh for chasing threadies in the river due to all this rain. Most likely gonna affect the number of prawns in the river as well till at least early to mid June I suppose. Not sure if it is just me, but I notice that every time after it rains the prawns I catch in the river get a tad smaller for some reason.
Anyways, while I am pretty sure that the threadies have moved to deeper holes in the bay where the higher salinity is more comfortable for them, sometimes I do wonder where exactly do they move to. After all, we still do not know much about their ecology.
I reckon such a high rainfall event in the early winter might be rather weird for the threadies as well. While threadies tend to spawn during times of high rainfall and floods in general, now is already way past their spawning season.
