East Coast Prawning was chosen for this outing as I made a visit a couple months back and saw that they provided all the 'barang barang' required to BBQ the prawns. Moreover, I found on their site that it was 1-for-1 on Tuesday Ladies' Nite! Sadly, this wasn't the case when we reached the pond - the signboard told us otherwise...
$40 for 2 rods instead of the $30 I had told the students...
The same promotion on Thursdays.
I was told by the counter staff that this promotion just started today! Weren't we 'lucky'? Why didn't they update their blog, which I actually checked just Tuesday morning?! :(
Thank goodness the students were rather understanding, and we started anyway.
Waiting patiently for prawns to take their bait...
All the students were first-timers except for one, so they were rather nervous and anxious about catching their first prawn. Hence... A few bloopers were certainly expected!
Prawn flew over the rafters... :p
As the students had started at 7pm and were to finish at 10pm, we decided to start processing and BBQing the prawns so they won't go home too late. That was why we never really counted the total catch - they were eating and catching prawns at the same time!
Success = all smiles!
The very helpful guys who volunteered to cook for everyone.

Even though the total catch was pretty poor - 50 over prawns by 10 rods - the students were excited about their first ever prawns caught and enthusiastically eating the 'fruits of their labour'! I shall ask them if they feel like doing this again... :)
