You know Barry watching your videos takes me back to when i used to be at the fishing and that seems like 100 years ago, how the years fly on ,Barry you seem like a very down to earth sort of guy, don't ever change and stay safe my friend.
Hi John.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kind comment.
I bet a lot has changed at fishing g since your time.
My father and grandfather would be turning in their graves if they saw how we treat fishing these days.😞
I hope one day things will all turn around for the better.🤞🙏
All the very best.😁👌
Hello Barry, that was a hard day's work. Next time your creels get snagged, try tying a short length of rope to the boat. winch as high as you can, Then tie the rope to the creel release the winch a bit then cut the creel free. Watching you hang over the side with a creel in one hand and a knife in the other? Anyway you probably won't take any notice of this. Your videos are a breath of fresh air, no talking rubbish!! Keep them coming, all the best & stay safe.
Hi Ian
Thank you for your comment and you advise.
Normally I would do that, but the camera didn't really pick up the size of the swell that day, and I really had to watch what I was doing, as the boat would be at some funny angles at times with the weight of the balled up gear.
I was very grateful to get this fleet sorted out and away from the danger area.😊👌
All the best, bud.😊
Rough day at the office. 4/0 job getting all that back & getting it aboard. Thanx for posting.
Hi bud.
Sorry for the late reply. On my family holiday, and I've been band from commenting,
so 🤫,
what she doesn't know won't hurt her.🙈🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah it was a day and a half that day bud, not the ideal conditions to get the missing gear back aboard, but with patience, and knowledge on what to do at the right time, we got through it, and two boats got some if not all there gear back...result. 💪😁👌
Thank you so much for your comment.
All the very best. 😊
Worrying watching you work over the side on that bunch of bstds,, Was thinking any second now all we are going to see is a splash ,, then just a cap floating on its lonesome. Glad you recovered your pots ... and survived 🙏
Thank you for your concern Dean.
Trust me bud I know what I'm I'm doing. Patience is the key when dealing with a ball up like that.
So it's one creel at a time, and take your time.
It wasn't ideal conditions for retrieval either, but we worked in between the swell..just remember these vlogs are heavily edited, so you only get to see the exciting bits 🤣🤣🤣🤣😁👌
All the best bud 😊
Amazing to watch the rescue and getting all the ropes untangled. Well done not an easy job
Hi Fiona.
Thank you always for your comment and support, we really appreciate it. 😍😁👌
We are so glad you enjoyed the vlog.
I think it shows a different aspect of the job...its a good job I'm the tetris master! And made this look easy to do....some of the fishermen, were not so lucky.😳😳😲😲.
Hope you have a great weekend.
All the very best.
Baz.😉👍
A very scary scenario to be in by yourself!
Hi Jim.
You're right. It is a scary scenario to be in, but with patience and knowledge on how to deal with a ball up, it's an easy fix.😁👌
Thank you for your comment.
All the very best.😁
Wow, what a mess, you said about a half mile? That is a long way, glad you were able to get it sorted out not to mention the hard work. Setting here watching I wanted to jump up and help but, and this is a big but, at my old age I would just be in the way, good on you, keep on trucking on.
Hi Arthur.
It was a bonnie mess right enough, but I've had worse, and no doubt their will be more to come like that.🙈🤣🤣🤣
As long as you are viewing, you are helping, so please never think that you can't help us out.😍😁👌so keep up the great job.
I really hope you enjoy the vlogs..all the very best.😁👌
Hi Barry it's knit one pearl one that's what I call a tangle regards Ken
Hi Ken.
🤣🤣🤣 I should get my mother out to help. She's a dab hand at the auld knitting 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for your comment.
All the best.
Well done Baz, its a nice feeling when you find them or see it hanging in the creeps. Had a new string of sixty we never saw again, put it behind you and keep goin . Cheers.
Hi Graham.
Thank you so much for your kind comment. We really appreciate it, and your support.
I certainly wasn't expecting to see that fleet again after that sea.🌊😲, but so glad I did, and relatively unscathed as well....definitely lucky ( this time)
OMG! That's a hell of a lot to gear to loose bud. I hope one day you'll find it.🤞😉👍
And your definitely right, just keep moving forward, one day at a time.😍😁👌
All the very best.
Baz 😉👍
Hi Barry, my God what a day, really glad that you managed to rescue all your creels, hopefully without too much damage. A hard day, and no shilling at the end of it! Take care.
Hi Michael.
Thank you so much for your comment and support bud, we really appreciate it.
Yeah, I'm certainly a lucky guy to get them all back, and not too bad condition too.😁👌
I was just glad to be getting the gear back, even these 8 creels and rope, weights and flags £1200 easy!😳😳😳 I'll get the lobbies another day. 😂😂😂😂
All the best bud.
Baz.😉👍
Aspects of the job we don't consider until we see it.
My hat is off to you.
Hi Harold.
Aye, it's fun and games this stuff, but at least this time it was a good result...fingers crossed we keep that luck for the next storm.🤞👌😂😂😂😂
Hope you have a great weekend bud.
All the best.
Baz 😁
Hiya glad you got your pots .I've brought mine in only 20pots I've got don't wanna loose them Barry 👍👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣
Hi Colin.
Thank you so much for your comment and support buddy.
You've done the right thing bringing they pots ashore, it's the right thing to do.💪😁👌
I wish, I was ,that clever 😂😂😂😂 but here we are, fishing inbetween storms.😂😂😂
Hope you have a great weekend bud.
All the best.
Baz 😉👍
Great video. Especially for all the romantics who shoot 6 creels in the summer but who have no idea of what real creeling is like . Ive had so many days like that . Love your boat too, Im now a fan of your blog. Keep it up.
Hi there bud.
Thank you so much for joining the OMAHB family. We really do appreciate your support.
We are so glad that you are enjoying the content in our vlogs.
Yes, the boat is a wee cracker, and she is STILL impressing us, with what she can do and what she can take.🌬🌊😁👌
We hope you have a great week ahead.
All the very best
Baz & Lynz 😁
Great video Barry what a struggle but you got them back that’s a big big day we’ll done
Hi David.
Thank you so much for your comment, we really appreciate it. 😁👌
Yeah, I can't believe how lucky I got with this fleet. £1200 saved!😍😁👌
Thankfully they are all moved and nice deep water now.😂😂😂
Have a great Sunday bud.
All the best.
Baz.😉👍
Don't you feel the cold mate? Out in a tee shirt makes me shiver 🥶
And then I saw the hard work and realised why..... well done.
He lives in Stottencleugh, it's like living in a freezer - he's acclimatized 😆😆😆
I'm either tough or stupid mate.😂😂😂😂 the jury is out on one of them....yet I'm not sure, which one?🤷♂️😂😂😂😂😁👌
Yup, hot work that gear sorting lark.😂😂😂😂 💪😉👍
😂😂😂 your not wrong there mum.🥶🥶🥶😂😂😂
Great to watch this
Hi Davie.
Thank you so much for your comment.
Glad you enjoyed the vlog.
Have a great weekend bud.
All the best.
Baz.😉👍
hi Barry hard work bud but good watch an experienced man at his trade keep safe john Guernsey C.I.
Hi John.
Thank you so much for this wonderful comment. We really appreciate your support.
The only reason I 'm experienced, is because I got many years getting it wrong, and having, year, after year like this.😂😂😂😂😂
The only reason, I can explain how this happened to this fleet, is the other guys rolled into me, as I work flags ( which are better in swell) he had bouys...very buoyant, and moveable.
At least in the end everything was sorted, and gear was not lost...many ££££ saved there.😁👌
Hope you have a great weekend bud.
All the best.
Baz 😉👍
Well done on finding that string at sorting them out there would of been a few more beeps on the audio if I was sorting that mess out 😂 good work Barry 👍
Hi Jarrod
Thank you so much for this comment, we appreciate it and your support. 😍😁👌
Yeah, how lucky was I I not to just get the fleet back, but without even a burst mesh as well.😲😲😲
That never normally happens. 😂😂😂
Yeah, I think I was mentally prepared for that experience, so the swear words were down to a minimum....plus, this is a family show, so I can't have the young ones hear fishermen talk.😂😂😂😂😂
Hope you have a great weekend bud.
All the very best.
Baz.😁
PHEWW! That looked like hard work :)
Hi Mike,
As always thank you so much for your comment and support, means the world to us bud.😍👌
Yeah, total hard graft, but the result spoke for itself, £1200 of my gear saved.😍😁👌
Plus helping the other fishermen with getting some gear back, is always a bonus.😁👌
Hope you have a great weekend bud.
All the best.
Baz.😉👍
Hi Barry. Well done on getting your fleet back! What a struggle!! Thanks for the vlog m8, cheers, John.
Hi John.
As always, thank you so much for your comment and support. 😍👌
Thank you bud, it was a struggle and the swell of the sea didn't help, but with plenty patience we got there....can't believe there wasn't a scratch though, how lucky was I!😁👌
Hope you have a great weekend bud.
All the very best.😉👍
@@onemanandhisboat Thanks Baz.
the ONLY time its good to have a mess of ropes in when you are taking in a load of gear that your brain had already thought was going to be replaced. a lot of saved pounds coins pulled up there, nice one
Hi bud.
Your absolutely correct.
I couldn't believe how lucky I was to get that gear back, and without even a broken mesh.😲😲😲
That rarely happens. 😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much for your comment and support bud.
Hope you have a great weekend.
All the best.
Baz 😉👍
You are lucky to be able to use them little end weights, we have to use 16kg grapnels to stop the gear moving. Its a nightmare when all the pots come together. You need to have eyes up your @rse.
Hi there Beany.
Thank you so much for your comment, it's very much appreciated. 😁👌
Actually, those end weights, are 30kg each, I just make it look light.💪💪💪😂😂😂😁👌
After a sea like that, I'm actually surprised we didn't have more foul ups like this....definitely doesn't make the job easy, but as long as each boat gets something back, is definitely the main goal, there me thinks.😁👌
We hope you had a lovely Christmas.
And have a Happy new year, when it comes around.
All the best.
Baz.😁
@@onemanandhisboat 30kg, you make them look very light! I hate when gear comes together, you have to be so careful about it popping out of the sheeves, or as you are untangling it and something gives and getting your hand out of the way fast. Very dangerous on your own. Thats definitely the worst thing about potting
Oh, your definitely right there bud.
It wasn't a good day to do it either, good swell was still running from the east, which makes it all the worse.
I was just trying my luck, it paid off, just!😬😬😬
But yes, very, very dangerous part of the job, not for the faint hearted.
😁👌
Eye cnoot understunda wuhd yu sayed. Hahahahaaa i love hearing different dialects of english even if i cant understand ya. As a texan, i can confirm people have a hard time waiting for me to finish a sentence with as long as we draw out our vowels. Come on mate, hurry up, spit it outchya.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for this hilarious comment. We love it!
In fact, this has to be the best one yet.🤣🤣😁👌
The thing is, I understood every word.🤣🤣🤣
All the best from Bonnie Scotland 😍👍
Thanks for the trip out mate, but still glad its you and not me 😅
What were the yellow tags you fitted to the first fleet recovered for 🤔
Hi Neil.
Glad you enjoyed the trip.😂😂😂😂
The yellow tags are to keep the Government types happy.
Basically, with those yellow tags on, they have NO right to lift my gear.😁👌
Yes, even your hard working local fishermen is treated like a criminal, just to earn their daily crust. 😟👎
It a sham, of a system bud, it really is!
Anyway, hope you enjoy your weekend.
All the best bud.😉👍
@@onemanandhisboat I figured it was a 'government' thing, as if life wasn't hard enough without fighting with paper pushers. Cheers 🍻
😂😂😂 that's all we do at this job...it's never about fishing.
It's all about keeping the office jockeys in a job, that they made up for themselves....its all ridiculous. 🙄🙄🙄😁👌
Wow Barry what a fight so glad ur gear was in one peice did u find out whos gear u got tide up in ?👍
Hey Murray buddy.
Are you still working at Asda's? Or are we like, ships in the night, just now?....got a little something for you!😁👌
How, lucky was I to get that fleet back....AND.... not one mark on the creel.😲😲😲😲😍😍😍😁👌, I'm a VERY lucky boy indeed.
The only explanation I can give, is the other fishermens gear rolled into mine, and carried them that distance.
It's all down to either lack of knowledge or ignorance. 🤔
When you have a fleet of creels, with bouys as ends, and NO "end stones" ( heavy weights at the ends of the bouys) in those kinds of seas, the gear will travel.
Heck even with my little flags, and zero buoyancy, we had 1 fleet move 200 to 300 meters from where they were originally set.😲😲😲
So once, bouys start moving it's simply like a snow ball effect, and not just your own gear gets wrapped up in that....as we can see here.😁👌
I hope that explains a little bit on how these fleets ended up, wrapped up together. 😁👌😂😂😂😂
Enjoy the rest of your weekend buddy.
All the very best. 😉👍
@@onemanandhisboat Hey I'm still working in Asda were like them ships were not bumping into each other 😂
Having watched most of your videos and refraining from commenting , I felt I had to comment this time, the “lack of knowledge or ignorance” remark you made regarding other fishermen from your own harbour is bang out of order Barry. As a recently retired lifelong fisherman myself I’ve had my fair share of bundled gear , my own and other boats with mine on numerous occasions due to storms. Putting the blame on the other boats gear having “rolled into yours” is a very ignorant thing to say , I saw the horrendous easterly sea we had that week, Mother Nature was the cause not the other chap. I would suggest after looking at the gear, it’s highly likely in fact that it was your gear which rolled into his! The other creels look bigger and heavier and your end weights are extremely light! Your dhan line is also still coiled up short, a big no no in seas like that!
Hi Scott.
Thank you so much for your comment.
All comments are always grateful recieved.
If you can give me a chance to explain my comment, then I'm sure with your experience, you'll quite understand the situation.
The thing about my footage, is, you only get to see, some of the situation. I was doing my best in the extreme situation, to keep the fishermen that rolled into me, out of the picture, but since you brought it up, I'll explain.
Prior to the storm, I hadn't been out to my creels for 3 weeks ( due to contract Covid) so I know how I left my gear, and who was around me at the time.
Now my gear was set, in 10ftm of water, with 25ftm ends ( 5ftm roped up) so that gives a good 20ftm slack, for any swell, that should come along, even seas like that.
If your and experienced retired fishermen, you'll know, that flags, handle completely different to Bouys!, and to have 30 kg chains as ends, will always be enough, to pull that flag under the waves, because of the lack of buoyancy.....that's my gear.
Now, let's looks at the fella in question.
He's been at the creels commercially for under 1 year.
From the start he has not listened to the experienced fishermen on how to set the pots correctly in the area we fish.
He uses A2 bouys, without any leaders, and he has no weights on each end of his fleets.
He has also, rolled into most of the Dunbar men that fish that area, and too date, is STILL sorting out his gear from that storm. ( over fishing)
If you go to the previous vlog, ( the day before the storm hit)the creels, that are balled up on the beach ....they were his, as well.
Also, If you look closer at the pile up, on this vlog, your experienced eye will notice, that my 1st 4 creels of my gear, came up whole, and in line.... which means they were dragged, by the ball of creels at the other end. ( hence being rolled into)
I think the out come of this vlog, should be a victory after a storm like that!
That, we were able to get my gear back ( in surprising condition) and the other guy was chuffed to bits about getting some of his gear back, and getting the location on the rest of his gear to salvage.
I really hope this sways your decision on MY experience and knowledge at this, and many other jobs in my area?
Once again, thank you for taking the time to write your comment, we really do appreciate any feedback, positive or negative.
All the very best.
Baz.
A hard day in the office Barry, but you got it done 👍and the beep button works aswell 😀 fish on Baz🦀🦞🦀
Hi Richard.
Thank you for your comment and support, we really appreciate it bud.
😂😂😂 yeah, the beep button, certainly comes in handy, when editing.
I was so lucky to get this gear back in the condition they were in.
Others weren't as fortunate. 😬😬😬
Hope you have a great day bud.
All the best.
Baz.😁
