Prawning is Dan's newly found hobby, and he's good at it. Prawning is something very new to me, I never knew there was such a thing until Dan told me about it. I watched him prawn fishing once and enjoyed cooking and eating the catch twice, but I never tried it before. After watching him fish for awhile, I wanted to try it out myself. I managed to catch 4 prawns in half an hour. It's not as easy as it seems, it requires a lot of skill and patience. You have to wait for the right moment to tug the fishing rod, tug it with just the right amount of strength, and if u manage to catch a prawn, you have to withdraw the rod carefully so that the prawn does not fall back inside, remove the prawn from the hook and place it inside your net.
The drawback about Prawning is that it can be quite costly if you're not good at it. They charge you RM15 per hour, RM5 for the hook (for the first time only), and RM10 per bait (a very large earth worm). You have to catch at least 1KG of prawns in 2 hours to make your money worthwhile.
What I like about prawning is that, you get to enjoy your catch afterward and I love making Spaghetti Aglio Olio with Prawns. It was an interesting experience, I would definitely do it again and I recommend you to try it out too!
This is me and my first catch! This time we only got 700g in 2 and a half hours, we'll do better next time!
