00:00Previously...
00:01This pot? Oh, my goodness.
00:03Who could be on here? Yeah!
00:05The winter lobster hunting season has officially kicked off.
00:09They seem to work a lot better when you put bait in them.
00:11Right in front of the squeezy.
00:13Risking it all in pursuit of the world's most prized seafood delicacy
00:17is a fleet of young gun lobstermen
00:20and an old sea dog who bites as hard as he barks.
00:27Thanks, Miles, for sending Bryce my way.
00:30And he does.
00:30And Squeezy's gear is here as well.
00:33I f***ed it! I knew it! I told you!
00:35Squeezy, I think there's a bugger hooked up in your propeller.
00:37F*** Christ!
00:39Fighting over the same bit of ground, but I was here first.
00:42Hey, Miles.
00:43That's you right in front of me, is it?
00:44Yeah.
00:45You're shooting right through my parts.
00:47Thanks, Bryce.
00:48They might be pissed off that I'm here.
00:49That proves he can't catch his own fist, but I'm pissed off there, are you?
00:53No!
01:00It's 5.30am, and the crew of the Pira is on the hunt for lobsters.
01:12We're going good this morning.
01:13We're going good this morning.
01:15We're going fish about.
01:17Great!
01:19We got up at 3 o'clock this morning, started to find our night shot.
01:36Bryce has come and shot pots in the middle of our pots.
01:39It's just really annoying.
01:41We ran into one about here.
01:43It's another queue of these pots up here.
01:45It's got all this rope hanging on the surface of the water.
01:48It makes it bloody impossible.
01:49It pushes you out of the area, really.
01:51Bryce tries to work up top of me again today.
01:53I'm going to be losing my patience very quickly,
01:56and I'm going to give a f*** a really wild.
01:59Then I will not be holding back.
02:02Miles' tally for the season stands at 163 lobsters,
02:07worth a massive $10,000.
02:11That's a handy lead on what Bryce and his crew have landed.
02:15Jack started late, but he has a cheeky 100 Big Reds
02:19tucked away from his last trip.
02:21And then there's Squizzy, the 11th hour intruder,
02:24who's neck and neck with Bryce.
02:33What have we got?
02:34One nautical mile away from the Pira,
02:37Bryce's boat, the Chieftain, is pulling its night shot.
02:41One!
02:44I'm going to do my Count Dracula counting.
02:47Lockie and Jock can joke all they want about the low catch rate.
02:49However, if I can't catch fish, it's really not looking good.
02:55Three loxter, provided this one goes, and it does.
02:58We get three pots, that'll give us 150 for the shot.
03:01We get another 150 for the day shot.
03:03That's still 400 for the day.
03:04200 for the day.
03:04Pull that 200 kilo.
03:06Bills are paid.
03:06240 kilo.
03:07Hey?
03:08240 kilo.
03:09Oh, I'm so ready to miss the exacto knife over here.
03:13If we get 100, I'll be happy.
03:20All in that one.
03:22I mustn't have packed their lunch very well.
03:24The crew of the Buran is fishing in close, searching for monster-sized reds.
03:31This is what a monster lobster looks like.
03:33Two kilos.
03:35Three kilos.
03:35Three kilos.
03:37Four kilos.
03:37Four kilos.
03:38Well, it won't fit in the hole.
03:41Three kilos.
03:42Three kilos.
03:43Three kilos.
03:44Three kilos.
03:48But so far this morning on the Buran...
03:50Bip, bow.
03:52There's no reason we shouldn't be fish here, so I guess we'll soon see.
03:55First shot always gets you a bit f***ing anxious
04:01Jack may only be 29
04:05but he knows these waters well
04:07Couple of rocks just under the water over in there
04:12so sort of want to try and avoid them
04:14A lot of blokes that do it usually do it out of the tinny
04:20so we don't have that luxury
04:21so I've got to use the big buck for it
04:25so the closer you are in, the closer you are to their little home sort of thing
04:29f***, come on Lobos
04:30the prize for fishing inshore are lobsters worth more than any other
04:35got high hopes for a couple of these
04:37anything above 2 kilos is currently fetching $85 a kilo
04:42versus around $60 for lobsters under a kilo
04:45no females until I think November
04:49means we've got lots of new babies for the following year
04:52we've got to have babies
04:53babies are there, we just need lots of f***ing papa fish
04:57female lobsters and undersized lobsters have to go back
05:01there's a little family in there
05:02it's illegal to keep them
05:04heavy fines apply for breaking the rules
05:07how's it been better?
05:09a little bit more promising
05:11they're all good, all looking good
05:14four
05:15I've put up with pots of four Johnny
05:17so at this stage every pot counts
05:18I've just got engaged, I've got a wedding to pay for
05:21we need to land some fish
05:23what was in that one bud?
05:25five
05:26we hit some good numbers
05:28five
05:29definitely can't complain, they're awake
05:31five cosy
05:35five out of that one, pretty consistent to us
05:39but I'll have a look around this area for sure
05:41six
05:42six
05:43nice
05:43you want to grab this one first please bud?
05:45six brother
05:47six
05:48six again
05:49seven
05:51seven
05:52eight actually
05:53eight
05:54eight
05:55that's a f***ing good number
05:57just down to 50
05:59out of the first sort of dozen pots
06:01if we can stick it up, yeah, it'll be a good shot
06:07now it's the sand shark
06:09pain in the arse
06:10the Pyrrha's fast start to the season
06:13no good for nothing
06:14has started to decelerate
06:16is there much bait left in there?
06:18fucker all
06:19is there any lice bear do you reckon?
06:22yeah
06:25oh the night shot it's been a little bit patchy
06:28the sea lice have eaten a bit of our bait
06:30sea lice are tiny parasite crustaceans
06:33they cost the local fishing industry
06:35tens of thousands of dollars a year in lost income
06:39i hate sea lice yeah
06:40bait is what catches crayfish
06:43you've got sea lice there and they eat all the bait out
06:45well the crayfish they're not going to go in the craypot
06:48is there any bait at all left in that?
06:51nah nothing
06:53they've become a huge problem but you know you've just got to work out a
06:56bit of a system and try and work around it
06:58so i've sort of got to make the decision whether we might start putting
07:01a bit more bait in the pots just just for the night time
07:04first bryce the mozzie and now i've got another parasite i've got to deal with
07:10look at that first line
07:12this area is just miles and miles and miles of prey lobster bottom
07:21and we're trying to catch craze but
07:22so we're getting no lobsters in the pots
07:24not enough oh my god you're one of those people that go to a restaurant they give you a bowl of bread
07:33with some olive oil and you say i want another bowl of it it's not enough
07:37not many sides coming out of here lobster
07:39got miles just out starved sides he would have been getting a few
07:44and i know where squizzy is he would have been getting a few
07:46they would have been reds and they would be very nice out wide there no
07:52what about you that's not going no
07:56little little no no
07:59finally finally one one's better than none way too ratty for my liking
08:09i want to get at least two out of that one johnny
08:16yeah baby at port davie the reds just keep on coming jack wants pot consistency
08:23more bruv oh that's 102 johnny not a bad shot
08:3013 pots left to go best trip i've ever had as far as numbers go smiles on the dials
08:38and we want to win yeah it's looking good
08:43thought of what i was hoping for this morning but i wasn't really expecting it
08:47beautiful bruv just another day in my office
08:52day bin's looking pretty good the day bin's looking beautiful awesome when that's full it's a
08:57good thing fun to bloody go how's the snail you throw last pot brother
09:07the boat's back on it mate step away watch out just in case that rope breaks
09:15shit this last pot's snagged up under a rock you ever hear a struggle like that just put the
09:21boy's front back on and get out of the way of it
09:25the boat weighs around 40 tonne and got two and a half thousand psi pressure running through the
09:30hydraulics there's a lot of strain and we don't want to deckhand i'll have the rope flick out and grab
09:36him it's jammed up really bad the west coast of tasmania is not the place where you want anything to go
09:44wrong
09:49come on
09:53sometimes you tie another rope onto it steam away and pull it from a different angle it'll come
09:58straight out sometimes it'll just be a yeah if i lose this pot it could be five grams left of fish
10:08depending on how it goes
10:09do you want jesse oh yeah on the bold contender 17 year old deckhand jesse has recovered from his
10:26seasickness trouble is the cruise lobster catch ratio is well below par squizzy the old dog intruder
10:35maybe out of his depth we're not going real well this morning that's for sure we're looking like
10:40uh a bit over a fisher pot so we might have to uh shuffle them around and move around a bit
10:46senior decky rhino reckons it's bryce's fault bryce the nerve of the bike dropping his gear all over
10:53house the crayfish get pot shy oh another blank it's having the fish catch it's not fair squizzle
11:01oh far out i come out here to make money mate not bloody catch hermit crabs i'm pretty sure bryce's
11:12getting to him bryce is not getting to me pressure's mounted up to him mate i can't be perfect all the
11:19time sometimes you have bad days just to make it clear bryce has given me the shits but he's not getting
11:26to me yo what's going on bryce is getting to me yeah righto it's like a mosquito
11:39yeah well i ran one of these pots off i nearly run over one of his this morning because he's just got
11:44deer in between mine if i can send him back over your way i will i'm going to take 20 down to that
11:51next bit by two and a half miles down well i was saving that for a few days anyway you've got it
11:58yeah well bryce is all over up there so well this came with him that
12:04is he back where you are now yeah
12:10hit a bad reputation pretty quick if i'm going to teach bryce a lesson i need to get my boat
12:16running smooth and at the moment it ain't running smooth
12:22yep at the end of the day it's new crew they're doing the best they can but they've got to get
12:28better yeah
12:32hang on
12:34yep we're still going to tangle
12:39there you go
12:40no point throwing at the ends on the sand now huh huh i said yep and you don't go
12:49no point down 10 minutes later that could be 50 meters deeper pretty stuffed up when i said
12:57yeah set the pot they fixed the stuff up and they just threw the pot which was 10 20 meters after
13:04i said yep if i'm babysitting deck hands i'm not concentrating on my job i need to get my head back
13:12in the game one or two to go yeah then we're gonna go and get the one we lost oh we lost one have we
13:21we left uh we left one of our pots up when bryce set all around us
13:26yeah i left one there by mistake you don't want to lose a pot at the start of a trip it'll cost you
13:34thousands of dollars because you don't get another pot back to catch more fish i don't have a clue where
13:40the pot is but it's over near bryce somewhere now i've got to ask bryce to look for me pot i've got to
13:45eat a bit of humble pie
13:56come on the baran's last pot of the shop is 40 meters down and it might be staying there it's
14:05that good it could mean a loss of income of up to five thousand dollars or worse you gotta be careful
14:13johnny's standing too close gets a hand wrapped in the rope if i lose johnny it's only me on the boat
14:18and i'm gonna try and do what i can to get him back on board last pot cause the pot's actually caught
14:26on rocks on the bottom so we're just trying to drive around it so i can pull it up from a different angle
14:33come on brick
14:42got him yeah baby poor old pot's probably gonna be destroyed we got it assistance yeah blank i'm not
14:53too upset about that that's pretty healthy beautiful catch yeah pretty stoked with that for the morning
15:00shop so i ended up with 135 from this morning a few nice size ones in there 120 kilo easy if we can
15:08do anything similar for a day shot and do that sort of every morning yeah it should take too much to
15:12put a load on and get out of here we exceeded all our expectations but look at where we're doing it
15:18way rather be out here doing this with a good boss than stuck in a shitty office nice thing i've heard
15:24you say johnny i'm not asking much i just need 15 to 20 out of the last couple and then we'll hit
15:43nearly 100. what we really want to see today is a hundred a shot at minimum
15:49when you do that over 10 days a ton and a half if i get 60 a kilo you know you're talking 90 000
15:59probably 80 grand of that's cost hey get in the big 10 grand you know one little thing goes wrong
16:06you lose a few pots that 10 grand's gone if something breaks on this boat it's not hundreds it's
16:12it's thousands and if it's not thousands it's hundreds of thousands looking average i don't think
16:18we're going to hit our minimum target but we'll find out in about 40 seconds
16:29the answer is 50. 50 on the dot yep what did we get earlier 40 42 42 i think so 92 that sucks 92 is rough
16:42100 should be there but whether it's because we're rushing i don't know but 92 is rough there's a little
16:48bit more pressure in cap making sure we get this in the day so if i feel it i don't know the bags
16:54under your eyes tell a different story mate i know this man like the back of my hands i don't feel
17:00pressure hey mate how you going yeah not too bad um i'm missing a pot i'm pretty sure it's over where you
17:10uh where we had them pots together the other day yeah right can you please keep a look out mate if
17:15you find it let us know yep no worries squizzy's asked me to find his lost pot who would have
17:22thought he'd asked me for help maybe squizzy does need classes can't even find his own gear
17:26we might even have a little fun here just grapple this pot for one sec grapple it just grapple it i
17:35need to do something to it what are we doing to it oh he's squeezed what do i get if i find this spot
17:44uh nothing friendship back what was that i get everything that's in it
17:48no you're a bully an absolute bully piss off no way can you give us the mark for it please yeah i'll send
17:58you the mark well that's nice to bring the radio up yeah yeah maybe he's not such a after all
18:08so i'm gonna duct tape a banana to his his pot line squizzy is very very superstitious does not
18:19like bananas bananas are just a no-go he might get angry if he gets a banana in his boat but he ran my
18:26pot over you know it's only retaliation i don't want to lose her honey no no no no no but the idea of
18:32this the idea of this is they will be holding their pot it'll go boom into the hole and it's just
18:37got to go splat everywhere preferably over the deckhand no um no hard feelings against whoever
18:43is standing at the hole this is purely because squizzy just loves a good banana yeah good to go
18:49better go i'll back away see you nani
18:57this is what i'm calling a banana bomb bananas are coming for you buddy a little fruit and veg never hurt
19:02nobody 11 11 out of that pot that's the high pot so far of the trip
19:18quite good to see fish in the pot then get to it son this happened all the time about 11 in the first
19:24one thanks for you we've barely been getting the fish out of the pot
19:28team pira has landed 103 lobsters for its night shot but the young gun skipper has a problem to
19:35deal with there's just no bait left in is it yeah so these pots have been um sliced out yeah the
19:44lights are pretty bad they give me bait savers back not over no bait in them so cooter heads are gone
19:50on pots in the water for i don't know how many hours without baiting them so they're not getting
19:57fish in them either a bait's a huge expense we put about three to four boxes of bait in a shot
20:0270 to 80 dollars a box of bait sea lice moved with the tides miles will have to steam up tide if he's
20:09any chance of holding his ground on the tally board we'll probably move these in a bit shallower and i
20:15reckon we'll um double batting tonight i reckon so tonight we'll just hang two baskets in them don't
20:21really want to feed the loss our bait we can get a 30 percent increase with an extra box of bait well
20:26you know i think that's that's money well spent putting basket on either side
20:33hang a cooter head on the outside give him a bit to chew on hope for the extra bait elk there
20:38it's a lot of work for tim double batting for tonight yeah he's um he's under the pump but he's
20:48doing really well he's a really good decking he's experienced i mean usually i have two crew doing
20:54this he's getting by he's doing it all by himself so he's doing a great job
21:03with that bottom one up there you baited it none of them got bait in them yeah all right
21:06hey yeah i thought you said there was only a couple to pull on them with steaming up the other
21:09end so that's why yeah i've been getting to them as i can but that's all right well we're gonna have
21:15catch up if you want i'm eight pots fine bro i'm not talking not at the moment i've got to catch up
21:25being a deckhand on a cray boat like it's such a hard job how hard they work the conditions are
21:31going to be in it's important to look after your deckhands the more you look after them and the harder
21:36they're going to work and they benefit the operation do you want a veg might sandwich or
21:39something yeah please just one or two uh probably two timmy has six kids he used to work in the
21:49mines before he made the switch to decky work yeah i spent probably six seven years underground too
21:55political i don't even know how to spell my own name you got to write them everything you do under there
22:01everything's safety and that out here you just use common sense i don't really like people so
22:08this suit's playing pretty well
22:15here's our lost pot oh he's coming he's over there he's just there here he comes loggy he's
22:26gonna come and see his little surprise he really loves a banana i'm telling you he really does he'll
22:32be there in a sec you reckon he would have played with it he's about to pull the pot i reckon he's
22:47going to be really cautious when he hauls it nah nah he won't expect it if i was squizzy i'd be cautious
22:54knowing that bryce has been near that you sir you're a tumble maker it's in the hauler
23:06here it comes look at that oh get the knife
23:12it looks like they're all out on deck so hopefully it's worked he loves it doesn't he
23:31i don't even want to touch it
23:32i did save him the pot that pot could have just cost him five grand he couldn't find it so it just
23:42required a banana on it bananas just bad luck i don't want them on the boat proven fact for us
23:52bloody bryce drops his gear all over our gear and gives us bananas cheeky bugger
24:00he hasn't said anything i don't know what's going on
24:03takes him a while to load what he needs to say yeah it's buffering
24:16got a few lobs through it though
24:22just playing with the straight face be a nice guy
24:25all right thanks for that mate mate very good of you thank you very much
24:32no worries mate potassium helps with uh nerves and hearts so and muscles muscles as well so
24:38potassium should help you what are you talking about was there not a banana wrapped around your
24:44rope on that pot no there was no banana on the phone
24:48well that sucks nanny fell off i was hoping it would just splatter on your bull lawns and
24:55that was about it so oh well nothing happened and therefore nothing happens that's a win-win for
25:01everyone i'm sure all right mate you have my beautiful nice belly and you take care
25:13i'm not giving him the satisfaction
25:17he's saying it didn't work but then he sounds very it's just like you you just have a good day
25:22with your crew oh no he's poor he's not gonna let you know why because he doesn't want you to be
25:29like yes oh well we're one nanny short now damn it mate we're gonna get scurvy we're running out of fruit
25:38oh well what goes around comes around uh what hey no this stuff that's a big old clip what have you done bricey what have you done
25:54nothing it's one squizzy ran over yeah look there's all the paint
25:58here you chuck this and i possibly didn't see banana banana happened for a reason because he ran a pot over
26:04so just in the last 24 hours brice shot over the top of us i ran one of his pots over we found our pot
26:22and he put a banana on it you always got to have the last say we'll get him back somehow will success be
26:31squizzy's best revenge his pots are bursting with brindles
26:37how do we get this morning briney 112 quick wait 112 really
26:49if we get another 100 today it's 200 for the day 10 days 2 000 fish you always want more but
26:55it the pira still leads with 266 lobsters but the bold contender is just seven behind the chieftain
27:05is on 238 lobsters and the baran is closing in with 135 after one shot
27:13all you do is cause drama that's all you do that's why i'm the drama llama mate i'm not eating a crayfish
27:23mate i'm i'm eating a drama llama right that's all you care about okay we were in on the banana being
27:28put on squizzy's road but he's always pulling these things behind the scenes that's all he does i might
27:33sit here because i know this person will want to be there but we'll get there first exactly gets gets
27:38in everyone's way oh jock we've got to distract him somewhere yeah we've got a little surprise for
27:44ross but we don't want him to see it to at least we shoot in the pot jock and i've got a little
27:50stuffed llama that we're going to stuff into a pot
27:58dang
27:58stage one completed now we've just got to keep him from seeing it until we shoot the pots in
28:14and next then mate we'll just start on 40 feather mines yeah
28:18the crew of the baran has landed 135 lobsters for its night shot
28:22if jack's day shot is close to that number the baran will be vying for the lead
28:30trying to day shot a little bit deeper a bit over 70 meters sort of thing just keep that momentum
28:36going get a couple of brindles on they pay a bit less but we might be able to boost up a couple of
28:42numbers for the day i hope get a couple hundred fish a day i'll be over the moon with it
28:52interesting how the other boys went today
28:58nah leave it there because it's it's hiding it from where you can see it
29:03hey brice how's it going good yourself

29:30again i tried playing up this morning but it didn't work what would you do i put a banana on his pot line
29:37but you know he don't like bananas mate i know he's like bananas but he he ran over one of my pot so
29:42it was sort of like pre-emptive play back how do you run over your pot oh he reckons i shot too close
29:49to him but i was shooting around his gear and i didn't run over one of his so i reckon he's just
29:53getting old you're gonna play nice i'm always nice oh listen to it let us know how you go for your day
30:00shot yeah we'll do but he thinks he's too switched on smart pranks pulled on him though how are you
30:06doing staying in the wheeler no we've got to get some pots in the water mate oh well why don't they
30:10do because we need to get moving because the next gear is only just there oh and you're in my way you've
30:16just wasted five minutes what's happening here hey children turn the deck yeah 76 oh dear
30:31i don't know if you saw it or not he was like literally looked at it coming
30:36what's that mate what's that what is that oh my god it's a big one oh you're not going to cause
30:56any more drama i'll tell you price that's twice the trouble now there's two llamas on deck come on
31:01mate take this in your wheelhouse cheers it's been a bit wet why is it so wet we've been sitting in
31:07the pot for like an hour has it we've been trying to hide it from you the whole time yeah it was an
31:14incognito mission getting it out hiding up the back oh smells horrible there you go little grandma
31:20llama you can keep an eye on these two bloody hard workers he's like he thinks he's the king out
31:26here no one could outsmart him we've only gone and done it come on bricey let's get these pots in
31:32let's go it's our new team mascot the prankster got pranked now he's going to think of what something
31:39to do to us you enjoy your fishing more if you've got a bit of room to move you don't have to be on top
31:50of each other plenty of bottomy squizzy's heading south in search of clear ground and a new strategy
31:58lobsters above two kilos fetch eighty five dollars a kilo brindles under a kilo are selling for sixty
32:05dollars a kilo squizzy decided to go after the larger reds and there's a place nearby to hunt them
32:14i'm really i'm really itching to go to pedro the rock when they're going out there they are a bigger
32:24run of fish red ones as well it's awesome when it's not that's an arsehole of a place
32:32this is a huge gamble to go to pedro i've been out there many times many times i have failed and we've
32:38come out here pedro and uh had our asses kicked definitely showing us who's boss it's going to be
32:45a big gamble if we win it's not for the faint-hearted the tide rips out there when the weather's crap
32:51you're living in it there is no hiding out of it just imagine being in a washing machine for seven
32:55days because that's what it's like people have died out of pedro but when the fishing's good out
33:02at pedro it's good biggest fish of the day was 1.8 kilos that's pretty small for pedro i'm going to
33:09take the gamble i'm going to show the young guns as a fisherman you make your own decisions you don't
33:16follow the leader the name of the boat says it all i've got to be bold
33:22is there anything in that one johnny no if they want to get better than me today we're going for
33:32some uh deep water trays the brindles for our day shoot come on it was looking so promising for the
33:40buran money after me not a good start we can't get him every shot be good we're over halfway through the
33:50gear we've got six fish i was hoping to get at least a fish a pot from this so what we've got so
33:56far it's definitely not 60 not even 16. it's six at this stage so yeah definitely doesn't help the cause
34:06oh it's not cry today on aussie lobster man sees the fire of jack and johnny a captain
34:13need another good night so i'd like what we had this morning to sort of try and pick up a few numbers
34:17jack's heading back inshore 22 lobsters for his day shot it's a fail
34:29five nice big juicy lobs in that pot we'll take that the chieftain is faring better bang
34:36bryce is finally starting to land some lobsters first half we ended up with 80 fingers crossed for
34:43a hundred in the next half it's time to just focus on getting the night shot in and then pull the
34:49other half oh look at the light that is pretty cool light shining down over there on southport
34:54that there is the most southern town in australia
35:03the pier is banking on timmy's double baiting and surveillance to give them the edge over the rest of
35:10the fleet keeping an eye on bros he's everywhere he's over there he's over here pain in my ass
35:18just thinking about where to shoot these pots tonight so we might go inshore at the price for
35:22a bit of a look and then we're going to see you know the red craze which are worth a little bit more
35:26money so it's definitely worth having a look
35:29squizzy's decision to go south has paid off he's already netted 100 lobsters the old dog can do no
35:40wrong today he's got 20 pots to go that's bloody awesome fishing this time of year i'm absolutely
35:46torn to bits thinking that i couldn't go to pedro and catch nothing that's a huge gamble as night falls
35:52so too does bryce's position on the tally board we are not seeing many sized lobsters at all
35:59we're halfway through the second half of the gear and it's not looking good we've poured 24 6 8 10 12
36:06put 14 pots we don't even have 10 lobsters yeah something's got to give otherwise llama's going overboard
36:12oh hey mate what's happening i've got an inch to go to pedro
36:25ah yeah i was thinking about going to pedrobranca in a couple of days time
36:30i really don't want him to give a jump on me yeah well you'll make me jealous if you go down there
36:36that's for sure i'm thinking well should i just go right now i mean we were seeing some pretty decent
36:41numbers at the fries and it's hard to run away from fish you know it's like out there you go there
36:46and get nothing it's gonna cost me a big time yeah well you go and i'll give you extra bucks
36:58i reckon 500 bucks mate if you give me 500 bucks i'll go for a look
37:02i've got four out of that pot bros you know what four rhymes with doggy what more i want more sadly by
37:17looks of it squizzy got the best numbers now it's incredibly frustrating knowing that only a few
37:21kilometers away a boat's getting twice of what you are at the end of the day squizzy got the best spot
37:26out there there's nothing we can really do about it we've got the least prime location out of anyone
37:31else some trips are good some trips are bad some shops good some the shots are bad the second half
37:36of the day shot was just poor performing really it's not it's not called catching it's called fishing
37:44there's another boat inshore it's heading right where i wanted to go
37:48it's either squizzy or miles you know what you say but one miles off bros
37:59just gonna see if he was gonna answer
38:03i don't think he is i've called miles no answer i know his radio is on the other side of the wheelhouse
38:09but you know i thought he would have answered by now there's another boat inshore the fish is
38:14shit squizzy's got hundreds and hundreds and hundreds price is actually broken right now
38:21we need a fixed price jock it's really it's not looking the best at the moment it really isn't
38:26but i feel like i've got to sit down with him and have couples therapy like he's made a bit of a bit of
38:30a suck we'll find some lobsters we'll find some price it's just taking too long mate well things take
38:36time nothing was a big nothing good in life comes without a bit of hard work mate is that why you got nothing
38:43good the passive aggressiveness is just through the roof it looks so upset
38:52it is chip bros but what the do you want to do i'm giving you a bit of tough blood right now mate
38:57turn that brown upside down stop being such a drama llama all we can do bros is keep on trying all right
39:06get them up turn them back in oh no i missed him i missed i've disappointed bros
39:16there's a big fat lobster on the side of the pot and i didn't i missed him yeah
39:28yeah absolutely bargain came from feeding bed it's day three at sea for the young guns all good yeah
39:39dicky timmy's been up since 3am double baiting all 50 of the purest pots
39:46i've never got to bed last two days for a sleep and lunch
39:50i could have another crew on here so i didn't have to do half as much work but just shows how much i
39:56like beer money hey i've backed timmy to do this um and he's been doing an amazing job like he's been
40:02working so hard but um i really hope you know it's going to pay off whoa slay ganks
40:17money i'll slide down a bit off yeah that'd be good still got to do me bite yeah still got heaps to do
40:2942. 44 the day shot tallies are in 124 for the shot across the discipline hey miles can i have
40:48that little light on please dude
40:49159 for day shot yep that's more fish in this pond here the overnight leader the pierer bagged 132
41:04lobsters for its day shot miles's tally stands at 397. bryce has 362 lobsters and jack has 257.
41:17the big surprise is the bold contender squizzy has 418 lobsters and is the new tally board leader
41:28pedro blanker it's hard to leave 270 a day to go to pedro oh you want to go i i think it's worth
41:38to gamble i want the deckhands to know that it's their decision as well because if i go out there
41:44and don't catch anything it's going to cost them too all right i'm going to sleep on it you sleep on it
41:55right now all i'm thinking about is dinner we didn't get anywhere near our target anyway
42:00there's not much we can do about it thanks a few days to you know get amongst and figure out what's
42:07going on where i know we want more well it's still got over 100 yeah that's not good enough 150
42:14is sure oh my god okay i want that too because i know that's over there okay well forget what we get
42:20and we've worked out yes boss well what do you want me to say nothing you made us all you need to clean up
42:29yeah
42:31lobster hunting is all about risk versus reward i'm straight boys jack's also gambling on more
42:39inshore monsters i sort of come back to where we were this morning i've written the fish is sort of
42:44pretty similar but after our day shot we need every single pot to fish well you know we need to make
42:48our knife shot count we need to get the boat in tight right out johnny
42:57there's a rock here somewhere johnny
43:01oh me that was straight rock on steel i think steel scraping on a rock yeah it's something you
43:07don't want to hear at all ever just hit a rock on this side didn't say that
43:13hit pretty hard do you i need to go check the end room to make sure there's nothing that's happened
43:17there that's the one part where we hit a rock and we are going to sink we hit pretty hard so
43:23did it do any damage not really too sure yet it's double checking it might be bad if you can't stop
43:30the water coming in that boat's gone and under the water in minutes
43:44so
