Yep, hell of a job! One of the best jobs I ever had, Commercial Fishing Deckhand, Long-line Tunafishing. Thanks for the video, skipper. Keep 'em comin'!
I'm ex Rainbow Warrior, Rushelle, Muff Diver, Saxon Onward, Matsu Maru#15, Kristine W, Terminator, Shemara, Ocean Wild, Taisei Maru. Was also an oilfield saturation diver worldwide since 78. I've done a bit of swimming. When your past 59 years old in AU, there's no income protection insurance, & no job (SA & WA). And in the ECTLF all engineering & deck crew are Indos n Flips on Communist Albanese Labor Govt Visas. You can't really blame the boat owners as all crew have to have tickets in the over regulated environment. I'm far too old to be a student again. AMSA should do away with that 200NM NC (Near Coastal) EEZ BS & extend the tickets to 3,000NM
In the old days we needed 36 months seatime in our log books to get a coxswains ticket, when it was 50 cents to get a wetline licence in Western Australia but a lot of the newer skippers got their tickets from time spent in the navy💫
Yeah mate, in NZ the story was you only got 8 hours per day teatime. If you argued the point Maritime New Zealand's argument was you shouldn't be working more than 8 hours a day
Had bubbles around the vessel a couple of times Langoustine fishing sea mounts (volcanoes)in the South Pacific, got our attention, not to be trifled with.Seen meteorites hit the water twice.
After spending almost 30 years on the water in Tasmania and hearing your story reminds me of something sort of similar out off eddystone point that a single handed Cray boats Skipper shared with me. Out on the 13 mile patch, just inside the shelf he was hauling up his pots out of 100- 200m of water. This particular pot got stuck half way up and when he got it to the side of the boat there was a big up welling....and the pot was munted totally out of shape. He shat himself he recons and didn't ever go back out there. Thanks for your great videos on the water, they are awesome.
Hey m8 , one time off the Norfolk ridge when we were surface lining there were patches of ocean the same size , football field, rising and dropping maybe up to 6metres in height
Would love to hear more stories. My mate was in the Navy for about 10 years. He claims they saw Megladon off the coast of Queensland. The size of this shark they estimated at around twenty meters long. Have you ever seen any huge things, or things like, sea serpents?
If you are talking about the sun set green flash, i have seen it from shore here in Perth many many times. Have to be perfect conditions and you have to watch extremely closely
Yeah. I was in the bath once. And I farted. I reckon the water around me went up about 2 mm . Very scary. On a serious note. Unexplained things like that do make you wonder. Great story mate. Take care out there.
my Dad was on his boat in Lyttleton Harbour and he said the water was dancing like it a was being hit by rain drops but the splash was 300mm high and there was no rain must have bee harmonics.
Saw the sea boil off the Bogey Hole at Newcastle in 1998. Just like you describe. Too big to be a sub. It was likely a collapsing mineshaft. The area is riddled with old coal mines that apparently extend offshore. On the Starlight the most memorable thing besides the constant parade of hundreds of sharks was the full grown manta ray breaching off the starboard rail. The things are huge. Like a volkswagon doing a belly flop. Handlining big cobia off the backs of the sharks was a fun game between sets. Jerk the bait away from the shark at the last second and the following cobia would hit it and go ballistic. The Timor Sea is thriving with interesting species. When we saw dolphins we caught very little.
@@kieranoneill2793yes, fished the area many times, I had already 3D mapped the area and when I went back there was no difference in the bottom structure
