TK is swarmed by Monster sharks and the start of the rainy season in the tropics

I grew up in a Canadian fishing village using nets for herring and mackerel, lobster traps and long lines for halibut, cod and haddock off a 26' inshore boat with no hydraulics; everything set and recovered by hand. Mid 70's now and enjoy watching how you do it down under. Thanks for the content.

[@tkoffshorefishing]

Thanks mate, my grandfather fished for lobster from a row boat hauling his traps by hand. They were hard men in those days. Dad was a trawlerman back in the days when they didn't have net rollers. The dried the codend up by hand with the help of the roll of the boat before using the lifting boom to bring the codend onboard. We have it a lot easier these days.

[@johnholloway2118]

Cool man ,a touch of kiwi awesome

[@joemyers8289]

Ill be in Darwin around Christmas to do some fishing. Love Darwin though others dont for some reason.

[@tkoffshorefishing]

I really like the place, good people, good atmosphere

[@barramundi1479]

Breaks your heart seeing so much plastic in the water hey. When I lived at sea in the RAN some days you’d just feel sick the amount of rubbish in the water. Merchant ships form a decent percentage of that stuff but it comes from everywhere, mostly North as you’d know. Keep up the great content. 👍

[@tkoffshorefishing]

Yeah I think the Islands to the north of Australia need to rethink how they dispose of their rubbish. Tipping it directly into the ocean is not a option.

[@homey3051]

Looks like the crew feel the crane is more work and headaches than it takes to just flip up the trap

[@tkoffshorefishing]

We have 3 different sized traps at present which is a pain in the butt, they use the Crane on the heavier ones

[@denisiwaszczuk1176]

Have a good holiday

[@tkoffshorefishing]

[@tkoffshorefishing]

[@barrycranson7666]

[@tkoffshorefishing]

Yeah mate, see you there

[@michaelswanson7881]

The ocean level increased by around 400 feet LESS than twenty thousand years ago, at the end of the last ice age. Land spring back and subsidence are still happening today, Mexico has been sinking since the ice sheet on north America melted and north America is still rebounding.

[@joemyers8289]

No relation to Greta Thunberg lol.😅

[@tkoffshorefishing]

Yes plenty of changes still going on with the tectonic plates moving around.

[@bretloyd8097]

That rubbish is on a world cruise. . . . "Shit" is right. . . us humans are the experts at fucking shit up.

[@doradosurfcharters]

If you go over the Fence what happens ? Does the vessel have to do customs? You get fined ?Wouldnt suprise me knowing the australian government 😂

[@tkoffshorefishing]

You would get a lot of drama, that's for sure. Pays to stay well clear of the boundaries

[@ronralston3592]

Who built the boat, I used to work for Mr H Fisher about 40 years ago.

[@tkoffshorefishing]

Yes, it was one of his boats.

[@ronralston3592]

@@tkoffshorefishing My first job fishing was on the Star Fire out of Lakes Entrance, I went to his house and asked him for a job, he said, So, you farcking Vont to work for me! lol, we both laughed. next day I was a decky.

[@tkoffshorefishing]

​@ronralston3592 classic, Starfire is up in Darwin as well. Its now a fishing charter boat

[@danielthompson6225]

Hey TK I’m not sure if you have mentioned it before but do you do any brain spiking or bleeding? Or just straight in the ice slurry

[@tkoffshorefishing]

Straight into the slurry. I have always iki jime my fish but the company I am now working for don't want the process done to the fish.

[@samjoblin1542]
