Aussie Lobster Men

Squizzy, skipper of Bold Contender, goes out early hoping to get the jump on the fleet and capitalize on the red-hot lobster price, which is at a season high.

The winter season is off to a shaky start; the lobster price is holding strong, but the lobster boat teams run into problems.

Newcomer to the fleet, skipper Steve is pulling his first shot of the winter season; the Hursey's family restaurant's tanks are low on lobster stock.

Team Bold Contender is heading to the Pedra Branca, an area known for its monster waves; not many lobster-men hunt around Pedra Branca because the swell is too rough.

Life at sea can be a lonely existence for fishermen, especially when they are not catching lobsters; skipper Squizzy and Deckie Tabor of Team Bold Contender are doing it tough.

Team Ella Rose is hunting for big reds near Three Hummock Island in Northern Tasmania; they've already caught the biggest lobster of the season, a 3.8kg mammoth.
