Twenty odd years behind the times TEDS n bycatch reduction devices were implemented in qld trawl plan 2000

Is there a welding company that produces these? Local welder ? I’m in the USA and ran across this video. Not much to be found with a google search

Looks nice and compact

Lake Illawarra use to be plentiful back in the day. The Lake was opened up to stop the smell and now very few schoolies

Trawled for schoolies with Max Leeson on the Clarence. Straight out of the cooker they have a hint of eucalypt in their taste, which disappears after a few hours on ice. Signed "THE POM"

Id love to know if Australia has shrimps in its ocean or just shrimp? Is it just that Australians call shrimp prawns ?

Sustainability is code words for -Genocide, these science demons hat fisherman!

If you see a marine biologist leave him on the dock: he is a commie there to destroy you and your industry. No good no good at all!

As soon as you mentioned "the science and WWF" I knew this was a commie act to eventually cripple the trawl industry. I tell you blokes DO NOT make deals with the devil!!

Myall river Tomboy shot I am guessing, I went there in the late 80s

It would be best for our east coast weather if you could go ashore at the exmouth HAARP weather weapon and shut that damn thing off.

I almost feel like driving down there to eat those great looking prawns.

C Rainger FWX, old Norm Donaldsons trawler. He pioneered the Southport trawlers Just the best! He rests in peace up on the hill in Southport cemetry

I'm surprised that Green King Prawns are the same price as farmed Tigers.

There was a time when King prawns was more abundant than farmed Tigers.

I was a deckie out of the old southpor bar, 115 plus trawlers a night went through southport bar, plus another100 thru tweed, we raped the ocean for years , it was like a woolies car park out there back in the late 70s, then the shit hit, NO MORE PRAWNS, why fucking greedy human beings, again, THE GALWAY BAY was scuttled of point lookout, as there was nothing left, ya fishing is great if we can get rid of or control the human killers of the planet ! ps I bottom fished as well , and the fish traps off tweed at the 50s fixed that up as well

Great story and well produced, well done.

First 😀

Great video people love seeing the work go into managing this wonderful fishery worked out of Darwin in the 80s on trawlers and I knew then something had to be done to make it sustainable and to this day it is a way of life I still miss.

nice videos liking and subscribing

Nice work🖖🏼

Nice boat

Well put together. Cheers

Magnificent place look forward to exploring more of this area.

Somebody covered in tattoos with rings in their noses are not fishermen’s friends

Really really miss HB n the fishing industry..used to run the fish market on jetty rd n opened up the back of market for peeling scallops for local n outside trawlers.. the skippers n peelers loved it as much as i did..great industry..great memories 💖

What a fantastic video and a life story and a beautiful trawler I'm sure you made your father proud and your son will too.

This type of fishing rips the sea floor.

This type of fishing damages the sea floor.

You are all screwing yourselves over - we tried to warn you back in 1990 what these departments are all about. SHUTTING YOU DOWN. And don't tell me for one minute I don't know what I am speaking about - I spent 20 years at sea. 15 years in the Straights, one season in the gulf, and the rest on the South east and east coast of Australia. I hate all of these departments and people that stand with them with a PASSION.

i've been working 13 years as a sailor looking for greener Pasteur help me to work on your own company..thanks godbless

love to work like this

Such a awesome little doco..

Somebody is suppressing these vids. The whole subject is being suppressed. I can tell. This is not natural what's happening to the prawning channels. I'm in IT and I can tell when InnerTube is being paid to suppress 'topics'and 'subjects'. If you understand YouFail they get paid to suppress channels that others don't like. This is just wrong. Other than that! I believe we should leave the fishing industry to those who have it in their blood. They understand intimately what over fishing means and how supply and demand are not always the same. I would trust a six generation families advice over some 30yo Uni grads idea of 'the best way forward'. .....and I have three degrees...

How the hell can I be the first to comment on this amazing vid? wish people in the supermarkets knew about how our prawns were harvested and what fisherman and the fishing industry in Australia does to keep the industry viable. I believe no one in Aus would ever buy a Thailand raised prawn ever again....if they did!

Fantastic ...!! Australian Wild Prawns what a great ad. Will be added to my Prawn buying heading into State of Origin and Christmas this year. Non of that oversea's crap for me. Buy AUSSIE!!

Nice

Awesome story!

Awesome

Interesting campaign here guys, well done. I have goen through every bits that you have to share. Kudos to the catchers who actually cares!

Good video.. but it would have been nice to see a few bags being spilt, and the raw product on show
