- WATCH this VLOG series as we head on out to the southern ocean to fish for Southern Rock Lobster here in Tasmania.
Onboard the commercial fishing vessel Chieftain a 17.5m/57ft steel Tasmanian built vessel now 23 years old run by a Cummins NT855
Thank you everyone for liking and subscribing. We are new to this CZcams video stuff so its very rough, as you can expect things will get a lot smoother as this series progresses and into the future.
Apologies for Audio quality I am slowly getting use to using the microphones.
NOTE; Here is a current scenario:
If I want to leave the wharf, with current prices
Quota is $34 per kg I need 1500kg at minimum thats $51,000 out of pocket already.
i now need Fuel which is $2.02 per litre i need 1500L = $3000
i at $54,000 still havent left
i best get some Bait for the pots $4 per kg i need 1500kg= $6000
food for crew and i $800 -$1000 for upto 2 weeks
now i can leave the wharf, im only $61,000 out of pocket.
CRAYFISH PRICE on return of 2 weeks at sea $55 PER KG
$55x1500kg = $82,500 take out my expenses before i left the wharf, I've got $21,500 left Lets not forget I haven't paid insurance, maintenance of vessel, repairs, lost or broken fishing gear, Bank repayments and superannuation.

Great day at the office guys
Hope your paying the boy well, he is a solid worker for his age and seems to know his shit. Dont let him go 👍
i pay him food and cuddles.... seems to be working. haha
Good fishing! Brings back memories. You never mentioned snagged pots & breakoffs?? Lost pots per season? Down our way a diver earns a nice packet recovering them for the pro's.
Haha, sadly most our lost pots are very deep.. we often can do a month or 2 without losing any. But on the off occasions.. it's pot after pot. Haha hard to know numbers.
I’ve watched quite a few and I’ve only seen Loki miss one time
When do you unload??? I want to see that ?? I want to see that!! You guys are bad ass!!
Cheers Steve. This unload was done back in January. But in 2 months we will be doing another unload. In June
Does Lockie ever miss with the grapple? Can you show the land base marketing of your products? Love your channel. Cheers
Are sea lice dangerous to humans and lobos?
He always misses, I just edit them 😉 I will do a future video of what happens to our lobster! 😀 on land.
Ocean to plate kind of thing.
Also, sealice aren't a problem.. that I know of. Other then eating my bait. I would say they could devour a human quickly
Well done again bots
Thanks angus

Lockie’s a bloody good deckhand for such a young lad, better promote him to deck boss from now on. Do you have any dramas with seals getting into your gear, I know they can be a pain in the arse in other fisheries, Cheers.
Hey, don't know if I can give him that special treatment yet.. he hasn't given my a foot massage yet 😉
Ah no actually. Not an issue for us. They tend not to both with the crayfish.
What’s the reason for tying the haul line at two points on your pots?
So the pots have what we call a 'strop' wrapped around it. It's thicker 12mm to 14mm line.
With small bits of 6mm to 7mm twine tied on at various points, as a pot gets snagged in a rock the twine or 'break away' weaker rope snaps twisting the pots eventually (hopefully) releasing the pot from the rock.
Our main line has a float end and a pot end, both ends are a single point of contact.
I know exactly where you are. I was only on the water right there last September. Do you guys ever pick up a Yellowtail Tuna or two when they run ?
na cant catch tuna, they can be bycatch of albacore tuna when we catch them.
How do the mesh pots compare to the stickies?
Do you use the stabiliser at rest only or does it work while mobile as well
We put the stabiliser in once we leave port, then pull it back up when we return. It stays in the whole trip.
What the best bait too use please
difference in baits helps, you want something hardy that will last like heads, then have some soft bait like salmon or mackerel
