Wonderful to watch mate. I can’t get enough of your films Gary, they’re just superbly prepared and executed.
You’re giving the generations after you a very intricate insight into how life was and in my opinion, should still be.
Thanks again mate 🍻🇦🇺

Garry you are a great documentary maker! Love them. This shows real men of the past, not the pansies of today behind the desk.

It's so hard to find old fisherman's tales and I have been really looking thank you mate

[trueaussieray]

What a great documentary to watch.
In my younger days I did 3 years on a shark net boat out of Robe SA called "GayboBay" it was my first experience as a sharknet deckhand, i was bye myself on deck, it was a 2-1/2 tonne trip, from 4 days. spending up to 18 days at sea around the The Coorong and Kangaroo Island I absolutely loved it, we also fished king crab. Happy healthy memories!

Bunch of legends I still have all my old Rodney Fox books from when I was a kid (could have had a crush on Valerie Taylor). It would have been amazing to be at sea back in those days and enjoy simpler times with less BS. Thanks for the upload Garry.

YES. Finally, a video with old fishermen's tales of their sharky adventures. Very difficult to find!! I can wait to watch this mate. Thank you very much!

Excellent documentary Have you considered doing one on about the bass straight, tassie and port phillip bay scallop fishing history?

[deerhuntadeerhunta]

Great to be putting history onto a modern platform for everyone to enjoy and learn from. Well done I enjoy all your documents

I used to go out fishing with dad in his small tinny.
The bloke talking about the 52 foot sea, and cutting the motor at the top of the crest, I know exactly.
The small tinny would bury in the trough and I remember hoping that the bow would come back up.
The flared bow of the Quinny seemed to work.
After a while I just resigned to our fate.

I enjoy all your videos of the past fishing industry and especially Cape Horners.

What a fascinating documentary. Informative and educational with regards to the era that it was focused and with input from people who were actually there.
A massive thanks for sharing Sir, I truly enjoyed watching.
Best regards.
Robert.

Some of the smaller boats are very similar to boats used for the inshore fisheries off Newfoundland, Canada.
I really enjoy your film, it’s a great time capsule of that era.

Fascinating documentary. Brave blokes, quite eye opening to see where all that flake I've eaten over the years came from.
