David "Charlie" Kiely remembers that his mum didn't want him to be a fisherman on the west coast of Tasmania.
After forty years Mr Kiely is now retiring from crayfishing on one of the wildest and most dangerous coastlines in the world.
He has lost friends and fellow fishermen to the ferocious mood swings of the Southern Ocean. But he has also experienced raw, powerful nature and wildly beautiful coastlines that few others ever see.

I remember doing a trip up north with Charlie and lost the propeller on the Beatrice. I think it might of been sam on the storm boy that came to our aid. Fond memories with Charlie Good luck with your new adventures.

The work is hard, and the loss of mates harder. The sea calls you home again because her hold is strong, stronger than your family stronger than your sense. Ocean waves, and tidal pools, rocky inlets and tides, whoa betide the boat crew who don't keep up their respect, the sea will call you home and hold you to her chest. But even though you know the danger, your heart must have it's say. Back on the water the beauty is rich and free, the colours of the rainbows that are the seas it's where my belongs. By CJ McCorry

I used to fish Cray and crabs off the west coast, had many a port hole window smashed out, waves snapping you off your anchor rope. A big adrenalin rush😎👍

We don't think about the fisherman or the sacrifice they've given for us to eat. These men are dying, staying away from their wives (which might be a bonus haha) , missing so much of their kids lives and achievements. All we see is what is behind the glass display cabinet. Next time you're buying seafood take a moment to appreciate to the sacrifice it took to get in front of you. I'm an ethical hunter and only hunt what I eat. After a kill I'll sit beside it and thank it for its life, for the sustenance it will provide me and my family. You appreciate it much more when you hunt something yourself and not only do you owe it to yourself to eat as much you can from it but you also feel compelled to for the sacrifice the animal has given.

I wonder how many trans cray fishermen there is ?

@grahameroberts8109 Год назад

I suppose retirement may have been motivated by the Chinese pulling out of lobster/crayfish exports.

@joedennehy386 Год назад

Yeh poor bastards are only getting $60.00 a kilo instead of $90.00

I have been there and worked the west and south coast. It's not about genders or otherwise. It's about being able to do the work and have the fortitude to get out there and have a go. One of the best experiences in my life. Made me mentally stronger coming out of a dark place.
