A Whale of a Time

- The Lynsey B heads out to shoot the final set of five fleets and, after a long seven months laid up, it won't be long until Barry is back to pulling the pots and earning some money.
After all the creels were in the water there was a special wildlife encounter as the Lynsey B headed back to harbour. Not only did Baz and Jeff see a porpoise, they also had a visit by two minke whales, which was an amazing sight.
Check out this week's extra long 45-minute video of a very special morning out on the North Sea.

Thank you, Richard.
We now just need the weather to fish.🦞🦀🐟😂😂😂😂🌬🌬🌬🌬🌊🌊🌊😉👍
Glad ypu enjoyed the vlog.
All the very best.😁
Wow, it really WAS a whale of a time!! How cool. Thanks for taking us along. I've never seen a minke whale before. Have a good week!
Hi Val.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and support 😍😁👌
I can't believe how lucky we got, not 1 bu 2😲😲😲😲
As you may tell, I was a tad excited at the experience 🙈😂😂😂 but it's very rare in our waters to see such beautiful creatures 😍 😁👌
Hope you have a wonderful week yourself.
All the very best.😁
Hello Barry another fine day lobster 🦞
Fishing thanks for sharing 👍
Hi John.
Thank you for your kind comment and support. 😍😁👌
Hello Barry and Jeff, so great to see you out on the boat today! I will never get tired of seeing how majestic Dunbar Marina looks. Terrible how the "fisheries" are treating the small independent commercial boats. Sad to see so many boats for sale.
Stay safe lads and I look forward to seeing the krills full!
Hi Terry.
Thank you very much for your wonderful comment 😁👌
Yeah, way of the world these days, they are only ever helpful to the big industry's players, under 10 meter boats are just a nosense that the government want rid off😭😡
And the worst thing about it, is we are letting them😡😡🙄🙄🙄🙈🙈🙈
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
All the best 😁
Another great video, well done boys. I hope you get all the fisher men together. Hundreds of voices are better than one and get MCA AND GOV AROUND THE TABLE. ✊️✊️✊️
Hi Danny.
Thank you as always for your comment, and you're so right. We also need the public on our side. That's the only way we'll get change!!!
So that where Jeff and I and other like-minded souls come in to tell you the good people just how corrupt this government is ( as if you don't already know🙄🙈😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪)
Have a great weekend, bud.
All the very best.😁
What a great video Barry . I thoroughly enjoyed the drone footage Jeff. Good to see you happily back at sea Barry. An early start to catch the sunrise.
Hi Bill.
As always, thank you for your kind comment.
It's great being back at sea, I just can't wait to get fishing again.🦞🦀🐟😁👌
Enjoy your weekend, my friend.
All the best.😁
A nice day out Barry, great to see all fleets now in for a soak 👍
As for the Minke whales, I have only ever seen one once, while out on a birdwatching boat trip to Noss Head from Lerwick, that holiday also gave a once in lifetime event that I have never forgotten, killer whales right up close to the rocks we were standing on, about 5 yards away from us, and they were looking hard at the seals that were taking shelter on the rocks. 10 minutes earlier we were right where the Orca's surfaced, dad myself and younger brother in a tiny inflatable fishing with hand lines, rather glad I didn't get a bite 🤣
Hi Neil.
That's a wonderful story, and I'm in an agreeance it's a once in a lifetime experience, and as you may tell, I was super excited about it all🙈🤪😂😂😂
I'm so glad you never got a nibble from the orcas, and it would take some doing to reel one of those bad boys in.💪💪💪🙈😁👌😂😂😂😂 only playing, of course.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.
All the best.😁👌
That's no minke whale it's my good lady out for a morning swim 🤣 👍
Oooo! I hope for your sake that your wife doesn't read these comments.🙈🙈🙈😂😂😂😂
You're certainly a braver man than I💪😂😂😂😂
All the best 😁
Enjoying the video
Thank you.😍😁👌
You are a trooper Barry, that's a lot of hard work for one man on his own, you wouldn't get a young lad to do that. And by the way i love the Scottish accent.
Hi John.
Thank you so much for the very kind comment 😍😁👌 we totally appreciate your love and support ❤️😁👌
All the very best, sir.😁👍
Brilliant video, super clear shots. Keep them coming, very professional. You just need a bumper harvest, perhaps the whale will be a good omen, I really hope so.👍😀
Hi Henry.
Thank you so much for your kind comment.
Let's hope you're right about the whale being a good omen 🤞🙏😁👌 we certainly need it after this vert long winter.🙈😂😂😂
All the very best, sir.😁
As you were sailing out in my head im going "gee what happened to the fence " then I started listening and you were talking about the birds being confused, Then a few seconds later I'm thinking wow that looks like a diorama with the little red boat in the frame. Great imagery as always guys. I'm fanging to see some fish on he boat again for you all.
Hi Scott.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and support 😍😁👌
Jeff certainly knows how to capture a great shot.❤️😁👍
Thank you for your kind wishes we are looking forward to kicking this season into gear.🦞🦀🐟🐟🐟🐟😁👌
Hope you have a great week.
All the very best.😁
Hi Barry, let me guess... you're going into the MINKE COAT' BUSINESS??? LOL. I'm sure Mrs B would love one??? All jokes aside, good to see you [and Geoff] back our on the sea. Good luck with your catch when you return. Greetings from Down Under Perth, West Australia. Cheers, Frank.
Hi Frank.
😂😂😂 I think misses B would kill me if I came home with a Minke coat for her😲🙈😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪
I hope you enjoyed the vlog as much as we did making it😁👌
All the very best from Dunbar, East Lothian, Bonnie Scotland 😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪😁👌
Cheers pal😁
Hi Barry. Great to see you & Jeff ''out where you belong''. The shots of the Whales were amazing. All the best M8, cheers, John.
Hi John.
I hope you're keeping well, bud.
As always, thank you for your comment. 😍😁👌
Glad you enjoyed the vlog.😁
It is good to see ya having a good (fun) time out there! To much work will make ya old, ask me how I know.
Hi Steve.
You're absolutely right, sir, and it makes us grumps too🙈😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪
But we shall keep plodding on with a smile on our faces 😁👌
All the very best indeed, sir.😁
Oh the things ya see at sea :) nice start team 👍
Thank you, Richard. 😍😁👌
Great video Barry especially the whale footage. Such a romantic idea commercial fishing. As you say the outlay versus income does take away the incentive. Who will carry it on? We live in a world of few morals and most are looking to get rich quick for little effort. Hopefully by diversifying things will become easier. I can’t see many future commercial fisherman such as yourself. Best wishes, Dave
Hi Dave.
What a wonderful comment, sir.
I can't thank you enough for all your support 😍😁👌
You're so right about who is going to carry this industry on.
Their are young men, and I'm now proud to say lassies trying to get into the industry, but the hoops and hurdles these government types are making them jump through is ridiculous.😞
But we both know they are only there to make a job for themselves, that's what governments do, it's a shambles.😞😡
Anyway.
I hope you and your family have a wonderful week.
All the best.😁
Hi Barry, appreciate your busy soaking the pots but it would be interesting to see the process of the catch going to market once landed. Keep up the professional standard of content.
Hi David.
Thank you so much for your wonderful, kind comment. 😍😁👌
Unfortunately, I've already asked the buyer, but he isn't interested in making a vlog with us.😞
Wonderful idea, though.😁👌
Hope you enjoy your weekend.
All the very best.😁👌
@@onemanandhisboat Hi Barry, would maybe one of the other guy's buyers be interested since yours won't play? It would still be interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes... Cheers, Frank.
Another great video Barry thank you
Thank you, Simon.
Glad you enjoyed it.😁👌
Enjoy your weekend.
All the best.😁
O.K. Barry a quick MCA spelling lesson on how to spell moral - so grab your exercise book and pencil and copy this down O - B - E - Y --- M - E, there that wasn't so hard? Yes Cetacean spotting is wonderful I was lucky enough to grab some excellent shots of a Hump Back Whale down in the Antarctic, the Scilly Isles is another good place to go cetacean spotting!
😲 really! That must have been awesome seeing the hump back😍😁👌
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yeah, that's how they train these new young whipper snapper Inspectors.😡 absolutely zero experience, and they think they are God's.😡😡😡 not on my ship.💪😁👌
Nice to see all your pots out. Very nice to see the Wales again. Thanks.
Thank you, Ivor.
It's certainly been a long time coming. 😁👌
Thank you so much for your comment and support.
Hope you have a great week.
All the very best.😁👌
Best wishes for the coming season Barry 🙏
Thank you so much, George.
We really appreciate your kind wishes. 😍😁👌
All the very best , sir.😁
when is the video of making the wooden creels coming ?
As soon as we get time, it's been kind of full on here at OMAHB and looks to be also in the future too, but we'll do our best as always to get the content you want.😁👌
All the best.😁
Hi Barry, do you have different coloured flags so you know who's who. And what is the distance between the first kreel to the last one launched
Hi Garry.
Thank you so much for your questions, comments, and support 😍😁👌
Each boat has a different way to mark their ends, either buy a different colour or a different setup.
For myself. I have 30 fathom ends (60 meters) and 2 weights ( 1 at either end) and 12 creels at 12 fathom apart.
We calculate the distance between each creel by the maximum depth of water you work and how quickly you want the gear aboard, plus more coverage of the ground is better for catching lobsters. If you have the gear to close together, and theirs no fishing in the area, then nothing you will catch, but over a longer
fleet/ string, if their is no fishing in the middle, their might be at either end, for example.😁👌
I hope that helps with your questions.
All the best.😁
Sea Breeze lost it block ?
Na bud.
He has a hauler table.
The davit is only there when theirs been heavy weather, and he has ball ups to deal with.😁👌
Why don’t they let you guys soak your new pots in the harbour while you have all been laid up with no real boat traffic!
😎😂😂 thanks Dad
Hi Windy.
Thank you so much for your comment and question.
The harbour is always in constant use all year round.
Also, being on the border of the firth of forth and the North Sea, we always get a battering from the weather and a lot of swell in the harbour.
Also, some boats have more gear than others, and it's always the big boys who get their way 1st🙄🙈
So theirs some of the reasons why we aren't allowed to soak our gear.
I hope that answers your question.
Thank you for your support.
Hope you have a great week.
All the best.😁
Just out of interest, Barry. Why Black flags would they not be easier to see if they were florescent yellow or orange.
Hi.
Thank you very much for your question.
Black flags, believe it or not, are the easiest to see at sea, especially on those not so nice days.🌬🌊
All boats have their different ways of marking their creels/pots, and some of the other boats have fluorescent colours as their flag colour of choice.😁👌
I hope that answers your question.
Thank you so much for your support.
Have a great week.
All the best.😁
Whatever your profession you should be able to make a good living there's just too much crap from governments .
Hi Christopher.
👏👏👏👏👏 absolutely well said, and your bang on the money, sir.😍😁👌
All the very best.😁
