Now on a more serious note- ahem! There is a sort of an island in the centre of Milnerton lagoon that only manifests itself on the low tide. If you have a prawn sieve, go there between tides when the water is knee deep on the island and pump deep. The prawn are lying very deep there. If you do not have a sieve, wait until the island is completely exposed and pump around the edges as well as in the centre but have somebody with you to pick up the prawns quickly otherwise Steven will steal them in a flash!

Nico some days they make you work, while other days you get your quota within an hour.
I usually find that decent sized ones come out after the third or fourth pump - i.e. stick your pump into the same hole and pump then retrieve all the while going a little deeper into the hole. After about the fourth pump you've usually gone too deep so you should rather move on.
There's no real "spots" as such. The "spots" move around. Also it's just that the area has been heavily pumped over the last few months so all the whoppers are already gone. Scratch around till you find them though.
Also remember that you don't have to take your allowed 50. I find that 20 to 25 are enough for a session. If you have 50 and all of a sudden realise that the fish are wanting chokka or fish bait then you end up needlessly throwing away 20 to 40 dead prawns that could have helped replenish the lagoon.
Good luck

park at the green bin right at the end of the concrete channel.
you will see a small islad anbout 15-20m into the lagoon and it is exposed on low, pump around this island in water 10cm-30cm deep, we got 60 in 25mins (two guys two permits=100 we dont need more than 60)...
sometimes you have to pump deep down.
