Back Where We Belong

- Barry decides it's time to get back out onto the North Sea, so he starts to move the first five fleets of creels down to the harbour in preparation for a break in the weather to get them out to sea. Will the weather gods smile on the Lynsey B for once?
To celebrate the fact that Barry and the Lynsey B are back out on the water we've decided to give our fans two videos for the price of one. We were originally going to do two vlogs (as you will see when Barry refers to 'last weeks vlog') but we decided to go with one long 40 minute video.
We hope you enjoy this extra long episode of One Man And His Boat.
Don't forget that you can get more information on One Man And His Boat on the official website at www.omahb.com where you can also buy your official merchandise. - Навчання та стиль
I love watching the creels go over in order, with the weights, and the flags. There's something very satisfying about it. And of course all that line just moves out without ever getting tangled. Now I want to go back and re-watch your vid on ropes and how to keep them free of twists. Interesting that the creels have to soak for 2 weeks before you can use them so that they'll sink. I love that you text Lindsey when you go out & head back - my husband & I do that too, and we're just on land - lol. Safety first. The new tech that Jeff got looks fab, and the picture is clear and steady. We sure wish you a great season!
Wow! What a comment Val😍😁👌
Thank you so much for all the love and support. It means the world to us 😍😁👌
Glad you enjoyed the vlog so much.
We look forward to bringing you more next week.😁👌
All the very best indeed ❤️😍😁👌
It is great to watch a good man going fishing like you do, best thoughts for you.
HELLO Arthur, my dear friend!
As always, thank you for your wonderful comments.
I have to apologise for this late reply as I'm literally just back from holiday, where I was on a social media ban ( by Lynsey 🙈🤣🤣🤣)
I really appreciate your very kind words.
I hope you are keeping well?
Much kindness is going your way.
All the very best.
Baz 😉👍
Wow Barry what a fantastic sight to see you back on your beloved water. Your creels looked great going in for the first time to soak. Great to see Jeff on board with his new tech gear too. Looking forward to seeing you pulling in the creels, hopefully with loads of those beautiful Scottish Lobsters & Crabs. Plus seeing you Mackerel bashing again for your bait😉 Good luck buddy !!!!😀😊🛥⚓🚤
Hi Keoth and Val.
I hope you two are very well indeed.
Thank you so much for your kind wishes, we can't wait to start pulling these pots and hunting for the mackerel with our new secret weapons 🤫🤫🤫😉👍🤣🤣🤣
Another 2 weeks and the mackerel should be putting in an appearance.
Stand by for a shout-out.😍❤️😁👌
Hope you both have a wonderful weekend.
All the very best. 😁👍

Hi Danny
OMG! That was you!😲🙈🙈🙈 I'm so sorry, bud.
I thought you were just a random fella.🙈🙈🙈😂😂😂😂
Please say hello again and this time we can have a right proper natter 😂😂😂😁👌
All the very best, bud.
Baz.😉👍
Good to see you back amongst it Barry. I had forgotten just how much hard yakka goes into readying the boat for work. Time heals all wounds 😂😂. I will be interested in what you diversify into in the future. Up and at ‘em mate.
Hi Bob.
As always, thank you so much for your kind comment. 😍😁👌
I'll need to see if I'm allowed to diversify on my licence 1st, before we spend any more money on gear.🙈😬😬😬
As with any new fisheries set up, it will always cost a lot of money.🙈🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣
All the very best to you and yours, pal.
Cheers. 😁
It is amazing to see the change in you, out on the LB working again. Your face, your whole demeanour is so different to a couple of weeks ago. You can see that when you have the LB under you and the wind in your face and creels going over the side you are a happy man. May this season bring you all you wish for and you stay safe.
Thank you so much for this wonderful comment. I really love it, and it's all true, on land, you're full of the stresses of life, at sea... you are free😍❤️😁👌
Thank you 😍😁👌
There is a compass we use in mining and exploration called a Brunton ! its good to see you know your direction and have the drive to follow it. Keep it up Barry :-)
Hi Scott.
REALLY! 😲😁👌 I Brunton will always keep you straight and true😍😁👌🤣🤣🤣
I shall always do my best not to get swallowed up in the government legislation. I'll always fight.💪😁👌
Enjoy your weekend, bud.
All the very best.😁
That is a beautiful harbour Barry - all the best for the coming season.
Thank you so much Guy's.
We really appreciate your kind wishes.
Dunbar is something else, a very special part of the South East Coast of Scotland 😍😁👌
All the very best.😁
Onwards and upwards Baz, hopefully things are going to get better, good luck for the season happy hunting. Jeff seem bright eyed and bushy tailed, happy with his new techy toys.
Hi Paul.
Thank you so much for your kind wishes.
Jeff and I can't wait to get started for this season and bring you lots of lovely vlogs.😁👌

Nice work. I'm always amazed you don't end up with a right old tangle of ropes - I would 😂 The haar has been a bother up here even inland. Hope you have a great season.
Hi Buddy.
Thank you so much for the comment.
Yup, you're right there, and new fleets are the worst for tangles🙈😁👌
Slow and steady wins the race when gear is new pal..it's been a hellish spring bud, thankfully let's hope things settle down.🤞🙏😁👌
Stay safe my friend.
All the very best.😉👍
Brilliant video
Thank you.😍😁👌
Well done Barry, a good days work. Why do the kreels have to be soaked for so long.? Do they catch many fish from the shore in Dunbar? Great to see you back on the water and you and Jeff looking so well(must be the new camera!😂). Best of luck for the new season , I look forward to following your adventures. Best wishes, Dave broadstairs Kent
Hi Dave.
I hope you are well.😁👌
They need at least 2 weeks to fish correctly. It's all do do how they settle on the bottom.
And with wooden gear, it can take that long.🙈😂😂😂
But once they are soaked, that's it. It's game on after that.
Yes, we can sometimes get fish in the creels from November on. It's usually cod. We can get bream in the summer months, and the odd conger eel, sadly not as frequent these days.😞
We look forward to bringing you more throughout 2024😍😁👌 we're so excited to get started 😂😂😂😁👌
Have a great week.
All the very best.😁👌
Good luck for the season Barry.
Thank you very much indeed 😍😁👌🦞🦀🐟💪😁👌
Will do mate 👍
Excellent!😁👌
Have a great day, buddy.😁👌
You deserve every pound into your pocket from that Barry... Great content.
Thank you very much indeed, Ramdom dude! ( love the title bud.😂😂😂😁👌)
We are so glad you enjoyed the vlog 😉👍
All the best.😁
Hi Barry. What about velvets?. Does everyone's catch go out once a week?.
I take it that the prawn grounds are to far.
Without a doubt one of the best looking boats on UA-cam, she really is bonnie.
Hope all goes well with the season.
Iain.
Hi Iain.
Thank you for your comment and support. We really appreciate your well wishes. 😍😁👌
When the weather's good, the boats have to go. Every day, they can.
So in the summer months it can be 7 days a week. In the winter it's usually a day here a day there, that's why we have to work as hard and as long as we can in the summer, so the bank account last the winter.
We do catch velvet crabs, too. However, our buyer picks and chooses his days for landing them.
With being a small boat, even the start of the prawn grounds are at our very limit, because if that weather picks up, it's a very long steam home ( been caught out once or twice🙈😬😂😂😂)
I hope that answers your questions.
Have a great week.
All the best.😁👌
Enjoyed mate 2 questions, the yellow tags on flag poles what are they ? and between your two units is that a firemans badge ?
Thank you, buddy.
The yellow tags are ID tags, mate, for the fisheries officers when they are on patrol.
Nope, not a fireman badge, bud.
A " Royal scot" badge of honour.
That was my regiment for the best 5 years of my life.😁👌
@@onemanandhisboat wow thats cool 🙂
Get yourself a wee trailer baz 😊
Hi Craig.
It would need to be a BIG trailer bud, she's 4 tons🙈😲😲😲🤣🤣🤣🤣😁👌
All the best.😁
great vid how old is that harbour looks old the England history
Hi Barry. ( Great name that!🤣🤣🤣😁👌)
Oh, it's old, very old,the Cromwell harbour is over 400 years old, as for the Victoria harbour it's a bit younger in comparison 😁👌
It looks like a complicated rope tying procedure to get it all ready.
The pot fishermen near me at Stonehaven don't seem to mark their stuff very well. Not as good as your flags anyhow. They have lots of small buoys only all around the harbour area, barely visible in most conditions. A hazard to other vessels.
Is there any law on how pots are to be marked in Scottish waters ?
It's easy when you know how Jimmy.
The only laws for bouy ends, that they must be marked with the vessels name and number, unfortunately size doesn't come into it, which is madness, because like you said it's a navigation nightmare.
Flags have a wee bit more rules.
They must be a minimum of 1 meter above the water and clearly visible, also with the boats name or number on them.
The biggest problem is that the Scottish government doesn't funding to police any of their laws, even though it's the tax payers money they haven't really got a force to anything with it.🤷♂️🙈😲😲😲
Not that the inshore fishery is a big problem..in a year or two their will be nothing left, I can assure you....sad really, another great British industry destroyed by our government 😞
Where do you guys sell your fish, can't see any market there.
Hi Peter.
We are dominantly shellfish at Dunbar, Lobster, crabs velvet crabs and prawns.
We sell to our local shellfish buyer and he ships it all over the country and abroad for us.😁👌
I hope that helps.
All the best.😁
I enjoy your videos. Yeah you probably need to diversify you know the lobster fisherman in America have started to be their own wholesale people and sell their lobsters online. The other thing is if you and all the other lobstermen set a size limit like a 2 pounder instead of a 1 pounder let the lobsters grow bigger take males only try to get a better price you know I hope it works
Hi Cool hand.😁👌
Thank you so much for your comment and advice, and support😍😁👌
That's always been my dream, to sell direct from the boat, but unfortunately, logistics and setup are very costly. Maybe one day we'll get there🤞🙏😁👌
But thank you so much for informing us on how the boys and girls do it at the other side of the pond, theirs much to be admired about fishing folks that look after their industry 😍😁👌
All the best 😁
well you might think of if you have things like farmers markets where are they selling their produce and stuff to have a little place to sell your lobsters and crabs and fresh fish and that's another alternative. I know that you're in California a lot of the commercial fishermen now are telling people hey you know I'm coming in on this day with fresh fish meet me at the dock and I'll do transactions at the dock that's your other thing you can do cuz I think fishermen really should be able to make more money@@onemanandhisboat
Could you not pre-soak your creels Barry ? It'd be easy enough to do .
Unfortunately not..we used to pre soak the creels in the harbour, but due to a major disaster, the harbour trust stopped us from doing this, and quite rightly too, as it was a serious issue on health and safety as well as a navigation hazard 😁👌
@@onemanandhisboat To be honest, I'd thought of just standing them on a couple of tarpaulins to soak up the rain. You get enough of it ! maybe making a puddle with some cheap 4x2" under the edges of the tarp.
@CrimeVid it's a nice thought, but unfortunately, I'd need a tarp for 120 pots, bud, plus fresh water isn't good for the wood🙈 it rots it out very quickly, plus the density of sea water is very different to fresh water, and the pots need soaked in the sea.😁👌
But it's a really good call on trying to find a solution to the soaking dilemma. 😉👍
The truth of it all is the weather! This should have all been done in March 😲🙈🤣🤣🤣 just shows you how bad this winter/spring has been.🙈
I hope this is not the start of a new trend.🤷♂️🙈
All the best, bud.😁👌
How many fishermen voted for Brexit ?
Can’t believe how much work goes into getting your gear in the water to start fishing 👍🦞🦞. Hopefully you will start making a bit of money.
Hi Richard.
As always, thank you for your comment and support.😍😁👌
Yeah, it takes a few trips, and I live 20 mins away from Dunbar, too.😬😬😬🙈🙈🙈😂😂😂
But once it's done, it's done.👌
Hope you have a good week.
All the best.😁
