Aussie Lobster Men

The crews face their greatest challenge as the pandemic has crashed the price of lobster. While Squizzy tries to sell direct to the public, Cracker and Jay are both in huge debt.

Greenhorn Skipper Bryce is up to his eyeballs in debt. After buying a new boat for $150,000 and spending a further $90,000 refurbishing it, the cash-strapped rookie can't afford a deckhand and embarks on his maiden voyage solo. Skipper Squizzy and Tabor are halfway through their five-day run. Squizzy has had to re-mortgage his house to keep his business afloat. They have just 48 hours to hit their target, and then comes the hard part: selling 500kg of lobsters direct to punters.

The hunt for red gold heats up, and the lobster men are forced to put everything on the line. Rookie skipper Bryce needs to catch at least 100kg, while Cracker discovers that his secret fishing spot has been invaded by other boats.

With Tabor injured and stuck at port, Squizzy enlists Bryce to learn the ropes and how to win in the lobster game. Plus, Skipper Jay has an order for 250 kilograms to fulfil

The William Norling is seven days into a nine-day run, and Skipper Danny is no closer to finding a buyer for his 1,000kg of lobster. He's running up huge operating costs, and desperately needs a sale to stay afloat.

The Jager family boat hits the water after being grounded for four months. Skipper Glenn needs money, and he's taking his son with him, but a predator puts their haul in doubt. Plus, Squizzy is on a four-day run to restock his mobile lobster van, but rough seas and the market crisis leave him emotional.

Tensions hit boiling point on the William Norling as deckhand Macca makes a monumental blunder that threatens to sink the career of Skipper Danny. Meanwhile, Tasmanian skipper Bryce goes head-to-head with the mother of all storms alone.

Greenhorn Skipper Bryce makes a final sink-or-swim play to turn his fortunes around, but fishing in his mate's hunting ground could backfire. Squizzy faces a massive bill to fix his boat, while the Jager Brothers up the ante with a dinghy challenge.
