Why would a Troller want prawns? :grin:

I use "Nate's Bait" prawn cure and it works great. It's available in Fisherman's Marine, in the egg cure aisle. I'm not sure about GI Joes. Nate's Bait also makes an egg cure and a herring cure but I've never used those. Their egg cure got a great review in this month' STS.

I'm not sure if Nate's Bait is an IFish sponsor so forgive me if I've broken protocol.

LMAO bob I dont know why a troller would want prawns. I give them to jason for snacks when he runs out of booze.

I checked GI Joes up here no luck. We dont have a fishermans in the seattle area yet. I was hoping someone had a home cure.

I'm no expert and this is definately home brew but what I have done when curing fresh eggs is run off some of the excess juice into a ziploc baggie, add a little more cure or sents for variety, toss in the shrimp and wa bang!! I've used differnt cures and even mixed them up. I'd write on the bag with a sharpie above the zip with the mixture so if one worked better than the others I would know what worked. This is helpful if you are putting different sents into different bags. Good luck!

there are many "zipperlip guys" here on the board who know how to cure a really fish-catching prawn. I am not one of those lucky few who know, however.

if you are lucky, someone will pm you w/ some good advice...hopefully, they will send me the recipe too!!
