Hi folks;
I have given a couple of recommendations on this site for people to get 1/2 kilo bags of banana prawns as bait from the bait shop at the BP servo in Manly. (Watertower Bait & Tackle)
When I went in there this week, the lady behind the counter advised me that the prawns had suffered a "technical price rise" from the supplier in that they were the same price but that the bags are now 400 grams not 500 grams.
That is effectively a 25% price increase. Wow! >:( >:( >:(
They are great bait and I shall probably continue to buy some but for those people who had asked, it may be useful to know of this. I don't recall the person but one guy was asking where to get good prawns to take to the Toyota Fraser Island comp.
As I buy them once or twice every week, I am tempted to search out bigger quantities myself. :-/
