Giant Lobster Hunters

There are only 10 weeks until the end of the winter rock lobster hunting season. It's the lobstermen's last chance to put money in the bank before the season re-opens in spring.

Squizzy, Skipper of Bold Contender, is under pressure to fill a special order of 600 brindle lobsters. Plus, Ansons Bay is dead in the water - its engine has stopped working.

Skipper Squizzy has been working around the clock to fill a new order of 200 kilograms of brindle lobsters. Squizzy and Tabor are fatigued - and that's when things can get deadly.

Clive, Skipper of the Minnamurra, needs to jump start his catch rate if he's any chance of turning a profit for the season.

The Barralee is gearing-up to head back out to Maatsuyker Island for one last trip of winter the season. Skipper Danny, captain of the William Norling, is inching closer and closer to his target.

A new boat has joined the fleet. Peter MacKenzie is skipper of the Triton. He's already caught two and a half tonnes of lobster this season and he's heading back out for more.

Giant Lobster Hunters follows the real-life dramas of six lobster boat captains over the last ten weeks of the winter rock lobster hunting season.

Skipper Peter has a reputation for finding big money fish, but it's the tail end of the winter season and pickings are slim.

The Bold Contender is motoring south to Port Davey for one last roll of the dice but Skipper Squizzy won't be the only boat out there. Glenn, Skipper of Ansons Bay, is also fishing in the same area.

Glenn, Skipper of Ansons Bay has the most ground to make up after suffering engine failure earlier in the season; the crew of the Bold Contender is up early gambling on big reds.
