Prawning!!

Well.. what is prawning you people might ask.. Well its simply a word used when you're fishing for prawns.. It would be wrong if you would say i'm going to fish prawns.. Other people might ask you.. So you're going fishing fish or fishing prawns.

Well in order not to complicate things.

Fish = Fishing
Prawns = Prawning

Its just my own definition.. I don't think there is such word in the dictionary.
Anyway.. back to the topic, i used to go for fresh water prawning for Udang Galah (big head prawns) it looks like this


Total catch of the day



I used to fish it in Kota Kemuning Prawn fishing pond. I no longer fish for this kind of prawns cause of the reasons below.
1) The prawn meat is not sweet
2) Its too costly to fish already(Rm 38 for 3 hours, RM 12 p/hour + Rm 2 for Jackpot)
3) I hardly catch more than a kg and market is selling RM 30 per kg.

Although its quite fun catching this kinda prawn using a light fishing rod.. but at the end of the day.. not worth it la. Below is the biggest big head prawn that i've caught so far.. its about 148 grams.. Jackpot contender.. but didn't win.


Then i was introduces to another kind of prawning.. its called Tiger Prawning cause the prawns are all tiger prawns.. There are alot of reasons why its better compared to the Big head prawns..mainly.. its far more worth it fishing and you don't need to wait long.. for people with no patience at all this is something you should try.
This is how a farmed tiger prawn looks like..

I just love the colour of it.. looks like someone spray paint on it.
