What is it?
Imagine a swimming pool, but instead of water, it is muddy green water filled with giant freshwater prawns. You sit on a plastic chair, drink beer, and try to catch your dinner.
The Strategy
- Preparation: Measure the depth. Your hook needs to be just touching the bottom.
- The Bait: Use dried shrimp or liver (provided).
- The Hook: When the float sinks, do NOT pull immediately. Wait 3 seconds. Then flick your wrist.
- The BBQ: Once your hour is up, take your catch to the back. There are ovens. Skewer them, salt them, grill them.
Why we love it
It is meditative. It is social. And nothing tastes better than victory (and grilled shrimp).
