Prawn trawler skippers and deckies (from Newcastle) , I've been out with them a few times as a guest (and to do some deep sea fishing for snapper with them) , they caught a stack of prawns and fish when I was on board, but I did a lot burleying and was very glad to get back onto terra firma ... took ages for the rocking sensation to stop.
The quantity of bycatch that they caught and wasted (as a lot of the bycatch was killed in the trawling and sorting process) was a shock to me first time I saw at first hand what happens in a prawn trawl.
