I think the crabbing is pretty good in the arm and same with the prawning. Yeah you never know what could be there feeding- Could be a spring.  I think it is worth a shot while waiting for your traps.

I set the prawn trap a couple of times last year but didn;t get a thing. I'm working my wy up the arm though :)

(if anyone has tips on where they may be, I'm all ears!)

Hey Niko try by the old powerhouse in about 250ft of water, should produce a good pull.

That'll be my next stop!

Thanks for that. I'll let you know how it works out. The boat's still tucked away for the winter, but after this weekend and last, I'm almost ready to pull it out early. 'Specially if there's prawns, crab and a winter spring to be had!

There has been some talk of the odd spring up there. Lived on the arm for 3 years and never heard of one caught then. The Indian river could use some help though. Loggers left one of the worst mess's up there. Time only helps to cover all the garbage around. The river looks like it use to produce big time, unfortunately that's not the case now. Looked like the loggers drove the fish out till the next ice age.

Decades ago or not, there was also some net pen fish rearing done up the arm, many of the small creeks have runs of coho, small though they may be, we used to boat upto the estuary of the river and ride 10 speeds up the river, in off pink years the coho fishing was unreal, we also used to see the odd spring carcass.
