Stretching Her Legs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 тра 2024
- A bit of spring weather in Dunbar has allowed Barry to take the Lynsey B out of Cromwell Harbour to stretch her legs after nearly seven months.
He moved the boat from Cromwell to Victoria live on the OMAHB Facebook channel for Jeff to test whether we can conduct live broadcasts from the boat this season - after a successful test we will be doing this, so watch this space!
Once the live broadcast was done Barry took the Lynsey B to sea for a quick run to test all the systems to make sure everything is as it should be.
With more bad weather in the forecast next week, we're now patiently waiting on a spell of decent weather to get the new creels in the water and soaking. Fingers crossed that Barry and the Lynsey B will be back out fishing soon!

Wonderful to see the lovely to see the lovely Lady out on open water again Barry. She looks a picture. Great video again by Jeff. Just hoping to see you fishing again soon buddy. Get them creels soaked and then start pulling them Crabs & Lobster again😀🤗😄
Hi keith and Val.
I hope you two are keeping well?
Thank you, guys.

I can't wait to get fishing, but I don't think it's going to be any time soon, all sea winds this week and now into next...this is relentless 🙈🌬🌊🌊🌊
Hope you enjoy the rest of your week.
Much love, Baz & Lynz 😁

Hi Danny
As always, thank you so much for your kind messages and support bud, it really means a lot.😍😁👌
Oooo, we've been eye spied🤣🤣🤣 yeah had a lovely meet with the female fisherman and Nige for Wells on sea. It was great to meet fishing royalty 🤣🤣🤣😁👌

Hello Barry and Jeff, I just love the mid evil look of the Dunbar Marina! Lynsey B looks great Barry! Excited to see you out on the water. Stay safe my friend!!
Hi Terry.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment 😊
Dunbar is a beautiful, historic harbour.
The castle gives the place its character just like its people.
I've always wondered what the castle was really like, back in the day😍😁
Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.
All the very best, bud.😁👌
Thanks Barry and Jeff. Fab camera and boat work. Yr nearly there. Can’t wait for this season’s fishing. It’s a Friday evening for me and what better way to start the weekend.
Thank you, Peter, for your very kind comment.
We really appreciate your support.
We can't wait to get this season started, too.🦞🦀🐟😁👌
Enjoy your weekend.
All the very best.😁
Barry it was such a beautiful day, and great to finally meet you and see you on the Lynsey B
I always say Hi to her when I'm at the harbour
It's, so sad to think some of the fishermen will have to give up they're jobs and boats, I've seen one up for sale already it's just so sad
Yes I don't understand why the government isn't putting money in the fishing industry, it's just unbelievable
It was great to see that big smile on you're face and see the Lynsey B out at sea
And Jeff doing a sterling job running from one harbour to the other, by jove you don't half get some exercise there Jeff
It was interesting seeing you opening the bridge Barry, and can imagine you at 10 a big responsibility Lovely to see you at sea again, Watched Saving Life's at Sea last night great job done by Dunbar Lifeboat people under very difficult circumstances here's to good fishing Barry Jeff and Lynsey all the best Anne
Hi Anne, sorry I didn’t get to see you down at the harbour as I was on the sea wall flying the drone, maybe next time 😀. Jeff
HI Jeff I was out on the Battery waving up to the drone I've just been watching the video with my mum who's 94 and loves watching One man and his boat the views the drone takes of the harbour are absolutely stunning, thanks again Jeff
Great to see the boat back outside the harbour. Have a good season. 🦞🦀
Thank you very much, Seumas. 😍😁👌
What a great video Barry . Loved every minute of iy. I remember the bridge being cranked up when I lived in Dunbar. Great to see you and the Lynsey B back in the water. Hope you have a great season.
Hi Bill.
Thank you, as always, for your kind comment and support. You are the best, sir.😍❤️😁👌
Yes, those were the days when men were men, and boys wanted to men💪😁👌 until after having to lift that bridge 🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪😁👌
Hope you have a great weekend, my friend.
All the best.😍😁👌
Nice to see 'that smile' back in place Barry, good luck for this season 🍻
Thank you, Neil.
It's been a long time coming.😁👌
All the best, bud.😉👍
👍👍
Nice to see you back on the sea, you looked so happy to be on the water again.
Hi Ivor.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and support. 😍😁👌
Always my happy place at sea.😍😁👌🦞🦀🐟
All the best.😁
Always a pleasure to watch a new video and the joy on your face is plain to see now you're on the water again.
I also really appreciate the details you include about the whole process. I never even thought about a need to soak new creels before you use them properly.
I would've been coming back in with a massive hole in my pocket and very very hungry.
😁
All the best for the new season.
Hi Andy
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and support. It means the world to us. 😍😁👌
We are so glad you enjoyed the vlog.
All the best.😁
Great to see you back on the briney again and rearing to go Barry, summer fishing is just getting under way here on the south coast but it looks like it's going to be a slow start down to the water temperature . As they say lots of effort with little success so far. Why do these politicians always think they know best without taking onboard the views and ideas of the fishers who are at the front line doing the job! I despair at some of the things they come out with and then they turn round 180 degrees when the damage is done, JOBSWORTHS.
Hi Robbie.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment, and you're absolutely spot on about the politics of it all.
You wouldn't ask an electrician to bake a cake...so why do these politicians listen to everyone else, apart from the fishermen....simple answer they don't want us...they want big buck ships, landing in bulk, then let's not forget their love wind turbines that they pollute the sea with😡😡😡
I've said it for a long time now. It's not about the environment ( even though they let you think that) it's about how deep their pocket can go for the next profit making scheme 😡😡😡😡
Anyway, I hope you have a great season, too, bud.
Stay safe.
All the very best.😁👌
All looking good Barry, wont be long and you will be pulling pots again, can't wait.
Hi Paul.
Thank you very much for your kind comment and support. It means the world to us 😍😁👌
All the very best.😁
Great to see the Lynsey B is running okay. It’s been a long and tough winter for you and the other fishermen.
Hopefully you can get back to work and get some lobsters 🦞, I have just got back from a days fishing 🎣 in my boat I’m with you I love being out there.
Hi Richard.
Thank you so much for your kind comment 😊
I hope you got a good days fishing in. 😁👌
All the best, bud.😁👌
Cranking the bascule bridge by hand when you were a wee lad probably made you the man your are today Baz. 😝 Love you brother. Cheers!
Hello, my brother.
You are definitely right.💪
Mind you, the bridge worked better when it was hand cranked... you should see the carry-on when there are a bust hose or hydraulic problems 🙄🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣
Keep at, bro.💪😍😁👌
All our love.😉👍
I was told I always had a smile on my face when I was running my lobster boat . I like to see that on you .
Hi Lew
Thank you so much for your kind comment. 😍😁
As you know, theirs just something on being out there😍😁👌
Can't wait to get back at the graft.💪🦞🦀🐟😁👌
All the best bud.😁
I retired 17 years ago and bought an Angling Boat on the Tyne as a hobby. I was not new to Boats, being a former Royal Marine. I really enjoyed it but other commitments forced me to sell it after about ten years.When I was out Fishing, I could not believe the number of strings of Lobster Pots. It was like going through a Maze. However, a lot of these were not set by Professionals but by Lads like myself. All they had to do was apply for a licence and could set up to eight pots. I did not take it up myself. Multiply this by thousands around the Country and surely this is one of the reasons for the decline in stock.
Hi Peter
Thank you so much for your comment, and I sight on you're experience.
I always love to hear other folks' dealings with this nightmare that is fishing.
It comes down to the basics, either bad management or non-existent management, but things will never change when you get academics making the rules on a subject they know very little about.
You don't as an electrician to bake you a cake after all.
It's the same with all these government groups that are there to support the seas, all hot air if you ask me.🙈
Anyway, best stop there before I really start ranting🤣🤣🤣
Thank you again for your support.
All the very best, Peter.
Take care, bud.
Baz.😁👌
It wasn't difficult to see you enjoyed that, your office is superb. All the best, let's make it a season to remember for all the right reasons.
Hi Mike.
Wonderful words, bud, put together beautifully 😍😁👌
Thank you, and we shall.💪🦞🦀🐟😁👌
All the very best, sir.😁
Its a great looking town. I enjoyed the walk along the docks. I was checking out the other boats and things. Good to see everything is ship shape.Looking forward to see you fishing again soon. .
Hi Rob.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and your support.
Dunbar is a beautiful harbour with a fantastic industry and a deep heritage, and I can't wait to get back to it.🦞🦀🐟💪😁👌
All the best.😁
Hard to believe its been 7 months ! Hoping the pots will all be full soon.
Hi Scott!
Thank you so, so, so much for all your support bud, you are the man!😍😁👌
Yeah, it's been quick yet long, if that makes sense🤷♂️🙈🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪
Come on the lobbies!🦞🦞🦞🦀🦀🐟🐟🤣🤣🤣😁👌
Good to see you out of the harbour - hopefully going to be a good year for you.
Hey buddy.
Thank you, it's about time!🤣🤣🤣😁👌
This weather has been dreadful.
I'll be glad to get back at it.💪🦞🦀🐟😁👌
Hope everything is going to plan yourself, pal?
All the very best.😉👍
Happy to sea you back at sea
Thank you.😍❤️😁👌
She's looking well Barry good to see you back in the water time I got my boat back in its been a very long winter let's hope for a extended summer 😂
Hi Alan.
Thank you so much for your comment and support. 😍
Yes, let's hope it's an extended summer, we need it after this winter....or is this is what's to come these days.🤷♂️🙈 I guess we'll have to wait to find out.🙈😁👌
All the best.😁
What a beautiful day and boat Barry. Thanks for taking us along.
I was able to get out, first time, Wednesday. Great day. Was at least a month late, doing house stuff......
Good luck with the season. Stay safe and full pots.
Steve
Hi Steve.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and support. It means the world to us. 😍😁👌
Yeah, it's been a hellish winter, we're about 2 months behind now🙄🙈 but hey, ho, that's fishing for you, ever changing, ever evolving.
I hope you had a good time out on Wednesday.👍
Stay safe and all the best.😉👍
As usual. A real channel with a real man at the helm. Love it.
😍❤️ thank you very much indeed.
I try to keep it real.😍😁👌
All the best.😁
I remember having to lift the bridge as a bairn for my dad aswel baz..... trev p.
All character building stuff, bud.💪🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪
Morning Barry, here in Guernsey we've lost 50% of our fleet due to restrictions (don't even mention the french and the 6 mile limit) and fuel prices, it's killing the fishing, give it 10 years and there be none left here.
Oh my!😭
That's blooming tragic 😞😞😞
I fear if we don't make a stand that might be the case for our entire inshore industry...I for one will not let that happen, we have to fight what's rightfully ours.💪🦞🦀🐟
I really hope things change for you, Guernsey men soon. After all, you're more of an island than we are, and need the fruit of the sea.
Stay safe and all the very best.😁
@@onemanandhisboat During Brexit we argued with the French for our 12 mile limit, they tried to blockade our harbour and then when our Navy came in to protect our fleet they then threatened to turn our electric off, the Channel Islands get 95% of our electric from France. We had to settle for a 6 mile limit and they have surrounded us netting/potting/dredging everything that comes in from the south south/west and they can catch what they want with no restrictions.
That was relaxing. Very enjoyable, Barry.
I'm sure this must be mentioned all the time but would it be a good idea to bring the lobsters in berry ashore so the fry can be nurtured in controlled conditions to improve their survival rate then released back into the sea to increase the stock levels in the area?
Hi Alan.
Thank you so much for your comment, we are glad you enjoyed the vlog.
Their is a hatchery just up the Rd at North Berwick, but it's only part-time ( funding🙄🙈)
It's definitely the right foot forward and a great suggestion. It just takes the right group to put that into fruition, unfortunately their doesn't seem to be very many people want to take up that mantle 🤷♂️😲
The government should definitely manage gear amounts next that's more of an issue than stock.🤷♂️😁👌
All the best.😁
Gday mate good to see you getting it going aagain , in our state we are under a 6 year ban from taking snapper ,problem is now when you go out you are plauged with baby snapper just about every hook up is one they are becoming a pest we still have 2 more years to go and hopefully it will be over ,any marine crustation with eggs here must be thrown back in nth queensland or queensland in general you canott take female mud crabs at all but if you live in the northern territory its ok unless they are carrying eggs the same as our blue swimmer crabs the same with the lobster /crayfish females with eggs must go back . they say that the cray fishery in tasmania is the best managed fishery in the world for sustainability anyway all the best for the season .
Hi buddy boy.
Wow, thank you for that information, bud. I found that very interesting.
I definitely think long term this is a brilliant plan by our Scottish government, it the 1st time they've actually done anything useful 🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣
But if they don't cap the gear, I think all this will be in vain. 🙈
Let's hope we get a great balance and a fair deal for all who fish the seas, and in a few years, who knows, we might be as sustainable as the Aus🤷♂️🤞🙏😁👌
Also, in the short term, I fear for boats struggling as is witch out this adding to their strains.....problem is here, we don't have a lot of scope for a diverse fishery. 😞
We are either regulated to the hilt on what we can catch, or their is nothing to catch as all the foreign boats are scooping them all up before they can come inshore to breed🙈
It's all a vicious circle, buddy.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
All the very best, my friend 😁
Taking the boat out of the harbour sure brought out the smiles and the happiness was noted. Please don't take offence but seeing you run around the harbour to raise the bridge took me back to the days we saw Aneka Rice running about on tv. That thought made me laugh😂. You said it will take 2 weeks to condition the creels; can that soaking be done at the harbour or am I missing something?
Hi Michael.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment.
Great description on the bridge cycle 🤣🤣🤣 I bet Aneka would be so proud of me 🙈🤪🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣
The harbour trust doesn't let us soak creals in the harbour due to the lack of space a frequency the harbour is used.
Back in the day this is how the men used to soak some pots, until 1 day a boat severally damaged due to these pots, that's when the harbour trust decided it was safer just to ban pot soaking.😁👌
I hope that explains why we don't soak them in the harbour.
All the very best, sir.😁
In celebration of your achievement I'm supping a pint of foaming grog, and as any seasoned jack-tar will tell you I'll not be in a fit state tomorrow 🙂
🤣🤣🤣 please enjoy, cheers 🍻 😍😁👌
@@onemanandhisboat Arrrrrrrrr
@@zerog5041 🤣🤣🤣🤣😁👌🍻🍻🍻
whats the strangest thing you have found in a pot barry when fishing and do you do day fishing for folk in between soaks
Hi Paul.
Thank you so much for your comment and interesting questions.
The strangest thing's I've caught in our pots has to be golf balls!
Yeah, with having a course east of the harbour, we get the odd golf ball now and again.🤣🤣🤣.
Soaks only 24hrs if that, so by the time I'm done for the day, it's time to organise for the next days pulling.😁👌
I hope that answers your questions.
Thank you so much, and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
All the best.
Looking good, love the Cygnus hull , old saying in our local harbour " never whistle on a boat, you'll whistle up the wind" .😄good luck for a safe and successful season.
Hi David.
Thank you very much indeed for your kind comment and advice 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah , I remembered about the whistling just after I started. That's why it ended abruptly 🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good job it was just a run around the rocks and not a day at sea, 🙈 that whistling could have been a disaster 🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, bud.
All the very best.😁
