Fishing is fun. Every angler dreams of the big one. The bigger the better. A big fish landed gives the angler a lot of satisfaction and bragging rights. It is like driving a Ferrari to your high school reunion. Attention goes to you. Your friends give you more respect. Of course some turn green with envy and curse you mentally yet smile and say nice things about you. You most certainly feel good and happy. Don’t deny this. I am sure you too prefer to show off big fish instead of small ones.
All said in the above paragraph is true but sometimes the small catches are a lot of fun and can be quite satisfying too. It like catching sailfish after sailfish for so many years, it is nice to catch sebaraus instead. Sometimes we long to catch something very different and prawns can be a satisfying catch. Well, prawns are certainly fun to catch. It is a different game. The feel is different. It is a whole new learning curve.
Just like fishing, anyone can take up prawning (prawn fishing). The tackle (equipment) that you will need is affordable. But before we jump into tackle, let it be known that there are generally two ways to do prawn fishing. One is at a natural environment such as a river, and the other is in a man-made pond. Both requires the use of different tackle. In this article we will look at the tackle needed for fishing in a man-made pond or pool.
