Trappings of professional trap fishing success 🐟 | Landlife | ABC Australia 

Buying and working out of the boat you did work experience as a kid in is so cool living the dream mate

Cool story - a couple of young blokes working hard and living their dream. Great to see.

I spent 22 years commercial fishing with my father... I still love to fish!

In my opinion this is some of the most respectable commercial fishing you can do. You are not killing your bycatch, you are not killing undersized fish. You are able to bring everything up alive and healthy sort through it and return what is to small or unwanted back to the ocean unharmed. In no way should this be comparable to people that long line or net fish because of the high kill rates that come with those methods.

Beautiful ocean, beautiful land

Shame about the negative comments. I'm a fisherman here in the UK 🇬🇧 and use traps for lobsters 🦞 and crabs 🦀 and nets for fish, bit of rod and line for fun.Nets if rigged right don't catch many undersized or unwanted fish,Joe public need to be made aware of this

Great way of fishing. Almost zero lactic acid buildup like all line/net caught fish. They are 100% fresh the second they leave the water. My partner was born in Gore🍺🍺

good to see the kiwi crew and the hat keeping the captain warm

They should keep the heads either use them for bait or fish meal. Tossing them overboard is a waste of potential money.

Wow.nice place n life

That’s my best mate Ethan Ellis 🍻

Thx ABC

I Went to Gore High School back in the 70's Been here for 39 years now, geeze Ive met a few people over the years from good old Gore. Funny that aye..

Wheres the ice in those buckets or are they stored in a fridge on the run back

Nice work Boyz

Snapper and Leather Jacket, The yummy chicken and quail of the sea! Yehaa, Yepee, Yahoo!!!

Very very good technology 👍

I love leather jackets they are nice fish to each.....wish you can keep the head I just feel we are disrespecting the animal thats given its life for us to live by not eating the whole animal.

Being so deep do you think the fish that are undersized and let go make it back to the bottom?

Should definitely be keeping the heads or unless that's the payment to the sealife to eat, but definitely crabbers, would buy, or mince them for dog food or for pallet for farmed fish..

why dont they keep the leather jacket heads for bait?

Can you show me how to cut your ladder jacket

Don't throw the head bro.

Any job down der still

with traps like these you could harvest the invasive cod and spare the Australian natives

Cheers landline like your storys on small buisness. An not massive amounts of bi catch there. Rekon doin it mainly cos they love it worse jobs for sure" cheers

Why on earth do you take leather jackets out of the net, leaving snapper to suffocate before measuring and returning to the water?

please trap the carp fish for human consumption

exploitation and greed. no wonder no fish left in sydney, melbourne and adelaide

Those tiddler snapper are a joke, commercial wild fish harvesting has outlived its use by date for sure.

Half the fish would be dead by the time they measure them

Trapping needs to go learn to line fish

media lead you beleive this is sustainable practice I assure you its far from that learn how to use a rod reel this practice must be banned
