Trawlermen: Hunting the Catch - Season 1 - Eps 4: The Race
Crabber Tydus, after months of breakdowns, is finally back fishing. Skipper Stiggy pushes hard for a ten-tonne crab haul, battling crew injuries and a patched-up boat as he gambles on new southern grounds. On Budding Rose, trainee skipper Michael Bruce must prove himself under his father’s watch, navigating a pair trawler in rough North Sea weather, manoeuvring dangerously close to another vessel to join nets. In Newlyn, Karen of Ladram races out after a ten-day weather delay, hoping to corner the hake market—until a crew member falls ill and seals devastate their catch. Meanwhile, Sharon Vale heads to the Irish Sea’s rocky “peaks” for haddock, where skipper Trevor Annett trains rookies Raj and Damon on the job, risking it all for a big reward.
