Trawlermen: Hunting the Catch season 1 episode 5
Episode title: The Gamble
Emilia Jayne hunts cuttlefish in the world’s busiest shipping lane, where cargo ships rule the waters. Skipper Luke Selvey finds early success—but can he keep the hotspot secret? In Brixham, Margaret of Ladram leaves home turf as skipper Adam Cowan Dickie gambles on the Bristol Channel, chasing high-value Dover sole. Struggling with costs, he takes a risky shot at a shipwreck and the unstable ‘gravel pits’. In Scotland, Westro’s young skipper Stephen West battles storm-force winds alone. With early net hauls failing, he must choose: keep towing solo or team up with brother Andrew on Forever Faithful for a shot at success.
