Aussie lobster men right across the country are struggling to stay afloat. Tough times calls for radical thinking about how to sell into the depressed local market.

The Aussie lobster men are forced to put it all on the line to stop their businesses from going under. Rookie Skipper Bryce is three days into his nightmare maiden voyage.

Fortune favours the brave. The southern fleet are facing a nightmare scenario. Veteran Skipper Squizzy throws greenhorn Skipper Bryce a lifeline.

The William Norling is seven days into a nine-day run, and Skipper Danny is no closer to finding a buyer for his 1,000kg of lobster. He's running up huge operating costs, and desperately needs a sale to stay afloat.

The Jager family boat hits the water after being grounded for four months. Skipper Glenn needs money, and he's taking his son with him, but a predator puts their haul in doubt. Plus, Squizzy is on a four-day run to restock his mobile lobster van, but rough seas and the market crisis leave him emotional.

Tensions hit boiling point on the William Norling as deckhand Macca makes a monumental blunder that threatens to sink the career of Skipper Danny. Meanwhile, Tasmanian skipper Bryce goes head-to-head with the mother of all storms alone.

Greenhorn Skipper Bryce makes a final sink-or-swim play to turn his fortunes around, but fishing in his mate's hunting ground could backfire. Squizzy faces a massive bill to fix his boat, while the Jager Brothers up the ante with a dinghy challenge.
