Hi James. Thank you so much for your comment. I have spoken to my buyer to do a vlog and show their side of things, but unfortunately, he's not interested 😔 I think it would have been a really good vlog, but never mind, we just need to think of something else. All the best.😊
Thank you, buddy. Best place for them. Make sure he gives them a good wash down, be he stows them away, or the rats will be through them in no time. Also, wrap the up in a tarp, keep the sun of them, and they'll last much longer. Have fun.😁👌
Grandad just told him the same thing mate . he had a huge lobster today and 4 in total keepers but can only keep 2 in total a day so he kept the big girl didn't fancy putting her back this time.
🤣🤣🤣 Oooh, Aaye! And some! That's me being camera friendly 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for your support. We hope you enjoy the journey. 😍😁👌 Have a great weekend. All the best.😊
Hi Liam, On the odd occasion, sometimes we have the odd naughty creel that likes to get a bit tangled, but it's all done in the way the creels come aboard and how they are stowed, if its all done correctly, we shouldn't have too much of a problem. 😁👌 All the best.😊
Hi Barry, I hope other viewers realise the seriousness of our situation regarding the MCA. As a fellow fisherman I just want to let everyone know that you are actually being very polite and careful with your words. The situation this government has created for the Inshore fishing fleet over the last few years is almost criminal. They sit in offices telling us how to be safe when most of them have never been to sea. Even worse are the kids (MCA officers) who stand on deck checking their phones to see what question to ask next, then telling you its unsafe for your boat to fish as you don't have a particular piece of paper on board! Two years ago we had a 10m potting boat, a 10m trawler and a 6m netting boat. The little boat was sold last year and the 10m potter is coming out for an overhaul before being sold this month. This is mainly because my sons and I are sick to death of being hassled by the MCA when all we want to do is carry on running our business. Personally I think the government made a deal behind closed doors agreeing to shut down the UK fishing fleet post brexit. It wouldn't be the only lie they've told! Well, as you sometimes say, "Rant over"!! Good luck with everything and I hope that in 12 months time we are both still fishing. We shall see....
I lost my fishing rights back in 1993 with MCA changes to rod and line charter angling. Totally agree with the comment above about how Barry talks on the video. Very restrained.
Wow! Thank you so much for this wonderful comment. This is exactly how the MCA effects small inshore business. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I'm absolutely gutted for you all, but putting in writing like this and letting our viewers see the truth behind what they the MCA are trying to do, which is decommission the Inshore fleet. We wish you all the very best.😊👍
Hi Albert. Thank you so much for your comment and kind words. You're absolutely right, sir. I was feeling pressure the week this was filmed ( as we film weeks in advance), and fishing was just a subject just getting on top of me. Thank you for understanding. Enjoy the rest of your week. All the very best.😊
Hi James. I hope you're well, bud. Thank you for the kind comment and support. Was feeling a little like everything was on top of me when I filmed this one, and it shows 😞 But new week, new attitude 😍😁👌🤣🤣🤣🤣 All the best, buddy.😊
Hi. Thank you so much for your comment. I could imagine it would be quite a few times. It takes 8 years for a lobster to grow to a landable size, so I bet a few of them have been in a few creels, especially these days.🙈🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣 All the best.😊
The legal limit seems so small compared to the potential size they can grow to be, the same with crabs, wowuld it not be better to have a min and max size which over time would allow larger specimens to be taken whilst keeping an ever increasing number of large breeders
@pinkfoothunter1 oh yes, the fishermen have been shouting this for years, but as usual, the government are VERY slow on the up take bud. I would trust them to manage a sweetie shop in the middle of a play ground, never mind actually manage a fishery 😉👍
Hi Derek. Thank you very much indeed for your kind comment and support. She's a Cygnus GM21 with a Beta 43hp engine, also a 600lb spencer carter pot hauler. If you look at our back catalogue of vlogs, you will be able to see her build.😁👌 All the best.😊
@@onemanandhisboat thanks Barry, do you remember when so I can catch upp. Have a good friend in loch earn not far from the famous groase distilery in Crief. Also we hyred a sailing bort at Oban and sailed for a week rund the West coast. You live in a beutiful country. Thanks again. Derek
As a commercial diver i had to have a full medical each year, inc chest X-rays blood work and stress test ( tread mill ).. Then AIDS kicked off so a aids test and STD test. Last year i lost my job because i wasn't vaccinated. Barry don't let the buggers grind you down.
Hi Dean. Wow! And I thought we were heavily regulated. 😲😲😲 I'm so sorry to hear about your job. It's a red tape nightmare, and it's folks that usually have no clue who makes the daft rules.🙄 I hope you got a job somewhere else and it's that job is now keeping you busy.🤞😁👌 Thank you so much for your kind words and support. I really appreciate it 😍 😁 👌 All the best.😊
Yes i did thank you. The working man is an easy target for extra costs and taxes, they know we love our jobs which are more about a way of life. Not sure if its relevant we found chopped ham encourages lobsters to come out their rocky homes.,,, worth a try ?
@MrDeancoote 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for the advice, have you seen the price of ham!🤣🤣🤣🙈 I'm so glad you got yourself another job..so true what you say about these government lot. All the best.😁👌
Hi Scott. Thank you for your comment and question. We do try our best to shoot the creels away from one another and sometimes accidents happen and you shoot or get shot across by another vessel. What you normally do. ( depending on whose rope is the tightest) Is tie off one part to a hauler or shooting pole, then keeping hold of 1 end cut that rope, then pass it underneath or over the top, depending on who's over who. Drop there line away, then either tie or splice the rope back together, then be on your merry way as before. 😁👌 I hope that makes sense. All the best.😊
You seem to release a lot of under size lobsters what do you recon your catch keep ratio is ie 1 in 10 love the scenery shots makes me feel very homesick
Hi John. It will obviously vary as the year goes on. But at this time of year, there are usually between 4 & 9 lobsters in a creel, with 1 or 2 keepers but that's just an average number, it all depends on where your gear is, what size are the tides, if there's swell in the water, if the bait is good, yes all different factors go into fishing.😁👌 Thank you so much for your kind comment. I'm sorry we make you home sick,but at least you can see Sunny Dunbar via our vlogs weekly 😁👌 Always a plus somewhere, bud.🤣🤣🤣 All the best.😊
Glad to see you're still at it Barry, although sad to see the 'obstacles' that are being put in you way. Way of the world these days it seems, never though the day would come that 'we' would be controlled like this by elected government 🤬🤬
Hi Neil buddy. Oh, it's control of the highest degree. And we put up with it 🙈 We should be more like the French, and riot!💪🤜👊 na fook that, win the euro lotto, buy my own island, then toodle loo muther fookers 🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 all the best bud.😁
Hi John. As always thank you for your great comments, and a wee question too. Best this season is 56 lobsters for hauling 93 creels. Next season I hope to top that, with a little more gear 120 pots in total. And they will all be wooden pot's 😍😁👌 Have a great weekend. All the best.😊
Hi Barry good video again,what’s your concern about the medical ,I know it’s £125 app, but only every five year, we had a meeting last Saturday wee the mca , about it they say only 1 person has failed,I am not for this but it’s probability not a bad thing ,and with the grandfather rights really can’t see why folk are a concerned looking at you I canna see you having any problem passing. Anyway keep up the good work Davie .
Hi David. I'm afraid the MCA was lying to you, bud. We had 2 fail within 15 mins of the Eyemouth ML5 meet, and they were there until 5 pm.😳😳😳 I have it on good authority that the MCA is on a mission to end the inshore fleet. And the stability, then the scuppers, and now ML5'S and whatever else will they cook up next.🙄 They are an uncontrolled authority and do as they please attitude. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. 🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is my business. Why should I have to jump through hoops just to please some office worker that has zero, respect, or experience for what I do. I think most fishermen feel this way, and it's getting to the point that they are tired of trying to keep these buggers happy because they never are! So yeah, I have a problem not just with medicals but the MCA as a whole. I hope that explains things a wee bit.🤣🤣🤣🤣 Please read some of the comments on here left by other Fishermen, it's a real eye opener.😁👌 Have a great weekend, bud All the best.😊
Hi Allan. No, it's just stupid greedy fishermen. Some of the Dunbar men got some money for the new wind turbines going in, and their big idea was to buy gear and flood the ground with it.🙄 Can't teach stupid, I'm afraid.🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣 All the best.
It's so sad that your mentioning giving up on what you do, it's difficult to comprehend the struggle not knowing the incomings and the outgoings. What are 27 lobsters worth to a fisherman, we were in Weymouth last week and lobster ranged from £20 to £40. Maybe it's worth a sit down and fully explain the problems to the viewers, no doubt it can't be done in one vlog.
Hi Mike Thank you so much for your kind message. We really appreciate your support. The price I would get for the 27 lobsters would be in the range of £87 🙈 you take & £22 for bait, then the same again for diesel you can see the numbers just scrape by to earn a little something by the end of the week. And that will be every fisherman/ woman up and down our coast. Unfortunately I can't make a vlog like that, as I'm being a target as is for these folks with the power, and with my business just hanging on, we can't take that risk. I hope you understand. 😁👌 Thank you again for your kind words All the best.😊
I understand 💯% I'm having difficulty getting my head around a restaurant selling a lobster for £40 I also appreciate restaurants have overheads but clearly the fishermen like yourself are struggling and it saddens me to think a good person like yourself and many others are facing crippling cost's.
@Mike_Shaw your too kind Mike. Yeah, fuel is up, bait is up, the only saving grace I have, is everything is paid for on the boat, there are some guy's out there with big debts, it's them I feel sorry for.😞 Enjoy the rest of your weekend. All the best.😉👍
Hi Barry, Really enjoying your videos 👍I like the idea of using wooden creels, far better fishers. Be interesting if you set a line of single end creels to see if there would be an improvement in catches. its what most people use where I fish. I tried using fleets and found that most of the gear was not landing in the right spots. by using singles I don't need to work as much gear. gear is so expensive so every creel has to count 🦞🦞🦞
Hi Calum. Thank you so much for your comment and advice. Unfortunately, single pots wouldn't work here as there are too many light fingered folks about. Plus, there too many ends with the big players already, that single ends would be easily lost in the vastness of ends already at sea.🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣 But I really do appreciate your suggestion and support, bud. Safe and profitable fishing. All the best 😊
Craig. Your absolute bang on the money. That's why I'm waiting on my next batch of wooden creels from the sawmill.😍😁👌🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lynsey knows exactly when I finish pulling the steel creels to the wooden just by the numbers. It's quite a laugh how on the money she knows what fleet is what.🤣🤣🤣 All the best, bud.😊
Gday mate not a bad haul there ,i was watching a guy of the east coast of tassie catching crayfish (woke version "southern rock lobster " they dont have claws ) and he had 17 in one pot al legal rekons it would net 1400 dollars around 700 pounds in one pot ,correct me if a m wrong but you seem to be shooting in the north what if you went south or is that fished out ? take care .
Hi Crisp buddy. Wonderful to hear from you.😁👌 Wow! That's proper fishing, sounds well managed, and the fishermen getting a great profit, too. Here, it works a lot differently, kinda everyman for himself, and it's only getting worse, too.😔 We only have limited grounds to fish from, bud, and the boats too small to go great distances. So I'm kinda stuck to the grounds I work. I'm looking forward to November onwards, though, as most of the extra gear is taken back to shore ( from other boats), and you can actually work the ground the way it should be.😁👌 Have a great weekend. All the best.😊
Nice to see you greased the hauler😅sounds better today
🤣🤣🤣 I did it just for you!😉👍🤣🤣🤣😁👌
