Depending on the prawning venue you visit, there could be freshwater and saltwater ponds for the various types of shellfish. The ponds are often replenished every two hours or so to ensure that you’ll catch something for the day! Go grab a plastic chair, cast your rod and wait for some deliciousness to come your way.
