The latest addition. One of the projects we've been putting a lot of time into recently.
We haven't put a fish onto this boat yet, but we're counting down the days. Stay tuned..... 👌🎣

The weather hasn't been very kind to us lately. Certainly not our usual August/September weather!
If you swipe to the last video, we've regularly had similar conditions to deal with 😬, but we're managing to get at least some fish out most weeks.
We've also got a couple of big projects happening, so I've been a bit slack on the social media posts.
Over the next few weeks I'll share some of what I've been up to while I haven't been at sea, and what that will mean for the future! 😉👌

Look out for this one and more tastey recipes direct from @orpheusisland in the September issue of @deliciousaus 👌
Luckily @jarrodscott and I were there to give @chefbennett23 some cooking tips, while @phoeberosewood and @thereal_samanthajones were giving pointers to the photographer @damianbennettphoto 😀

Today's workplace 😍
I often get asked "why do you waste so much time using drones when you should be fishing?" 🤔
Yes, I do use a drone almost every day. Above and/or below the surface.
But I don't consider it a waste of time at all. Its part of my job. Not so much using drones, but keeping an eye on the reef. Looking for changes, both good and bad. Learning more and more about the reef every day....
'A waste of time' to some, but when you, and your family rely on the #greatbarrierreef , spending an hour every day just looking 🧐, certainly isn't a waste of time. Drones just make it a whole lot easier to see. 👌

I wasn't planning on fishing today, but I received a message from Melbourne at 830pm last night saying- Chris, it looks like we'll be out of lockdown tomorrow night, is it possible to get some fish to us asap?
🤔 It's going to be tight, but let me see what I can do.......
So today went something like this... 😃👌

Had a friends son jump on board with me today. Only the 1 #coraltrout for him but it was a good one!
Good effort for a young fella on a #handline

With half the country in lockdown we've got a considerably smaller market, so for a little while it's back to the smaller boat, very small volumes, and targeting only the higher valued fish.

This one here I suspect was hooked in the top of the mouth with a fine gauge hook, ripping through and taking quite a bit of its jaw and lip with it.
Every now and again I catch a fish with ripped lips and or torn mouths from suspected hook damage, (I don't use fine gauge hooks for this exact reason. With fine gauge hooks it's far easier to 'hook' fish, but also far easier to lose them) but this would have to be the most severe I've seen!!
I'm no marine biologist so I can't tell you how long ago this happened, but theres no doubt it's healing up well, and hasn't stopped this fish from feeding. Certainly a fat and healthy trout, with a full stomach!
Born tough up here! 💪💪💪😁

Hairtail. Good set of fangs on these fish 😱
Usually caught at night in estuaries. Many times I've had them wake me up in a hurry by sinking their teeth into my hands. Opens the eyes up if you're a bit slow and tired that's for sure😳😅
They swim upright- head up, tail down, preying on smaller fish, squid, prawns etc.
No scales, just a 'powdery' very shiny chrome like coating on the skin that rubs off easily.

#shinkejime #coraltrout for a special order @michaelbrine79 @a_touch_of_salt 🙏
The movement in these fish as the wire goes down the spine is nerves only!
These fish are well and truly brain dead. #ikejime spiked prior to spinal cord destruction. THE most humane way of killing a fish.
Wild Coral trout, Line caught, ikejime, shinkejime, temperature controlled brine. It doesn't get any better than this 🙏
Note the colour changes- 2 and 3 are the same fish. Brined and chilled in the last one. 👌
