22.01.2022 It would appear that our video post highlighting the wastage of undersized fish being returned to the water and being eaten by sharks has been hijacked by recreational fishing groups who are opposed to Fisheries WA allowing a trial of fish traps in Shark Bay. Somehow in their minds this 36 second video is evidence that fish trapping should be banned because we have followed the rules and returned undersized fish to the water, Not sure how the logic goes with this one but you ...Continue reading

21.01.2022 Thanks boss for this picture.

19.01.2022 Cyclone Season Our operating area in North Western Australia is one of the most cyclone prone places on earth. This season has been particularly bad with 6 cyclones so far interrupting our fishing pattern. Cyclones can be deadly, and so for small vessels such as ours, it is critical that they are avoided. As I write Severe tropical cyclone Marcus sits west of The Pilbara. This is a category 5 cyclone. And quoting the Bureau of meteorology, has sustained winds at the centre ...Continue reading

17.01.2022 Heres a blog from photographer Hugh Brown about the joys of taking photographs in the middle of the ocean. hope you all enjoy. More to follow. Saturday. 0920. Boxing Day. Still bouncing around on the Indian Ocean. Seas rougher again this morning. Doug says that these seas are the roughest he’s seen at this time of year, outside of a cyclone, for some years. The westerlies have been unrelenting and the swell constant. Hard conditions to take photos in and I haven’t taken many....Continue reading

16.01.2022 Wet season fishing off the Kimberley coast can be gruelling but it is never dull. I fly to Broome from Perth with one of our Indonesian crew Wawan Supriyanto who has just had a month at home with his family at Brebes in Central Java. From there we drive over to Derby To meet the Ashburton Road which is making way down King sound to meet the truck from toll Express that is waiting for us after unloading supplies to the Derby supermarket. Apologies to Murray from Dirty Dog Tru...Continue reading

05.01.2022 So the marine parks debate has come and gone again and now it is finished Late in the play some iron ore miner decided, that after ripping up hundreds of kilometers of our beautiful Pilbara wilderness and sticking it on a ship to China that it was time to save our Australian Oceans from ourselves. I guess it’s the thought that counts....Continue reading

04.01.2022 Banana's Liam Hillary, skipper, of our vessel Alcyone II, Holds forth on banana's " I never take them, but it's just a theory, you still catch fish with banana's anyway"... Geez! Liam, make your mind up. Do they work or not? So Australian fishermen have this fear of banana's, you hear all sorts of stories about how banana's give you syphilis and how they will bring peril to your vessel. They are easily the most loathed piece of fruit in the Australian fishing fleet In the spirit of democracy at Old Brown Dog fishing we leave the decision to our skippers. Some of them go the opposite way and load up, you see them at the supermarket with bananas spilling out the top of the trolley. Myself, I always take them. Mind you, the reason I don't drive the boats much any more is because the other skippers always catch more. You see those banana's play tricks with your mind if you let them. Here are some quotes from the team about our yellow friends Adam Page, Skipper FV Ashburton Road "If you go wth bánana's, it all turns to shit" Jack Stephenson, Skipper Alcyone II " No way, never!, every time I've taken banana's I've had major problems" Travis Black, Skipper Ashburton Road. "I was taking them for a while but now I don't take them" I can just see the Hollywood blockbuster here, return of the killer banana's. " Banana attacks remote fishing boat skipper in middle of night". Probably best to just not take the little buggers Or take an owner I know who caught his crew loading banana's onto the boat with the stores. There they were, all of them standing on the wharf peeling and eating bananas, every single one before they were allowed to throw the ropes off. What a control freak. Who would have thought that such a simple piece of fruit could cause such problems.

03.01.2022 Life on the sea for our crews

03.01.2022 Ashburton Road is now steaming North for four days after completing two months of heavy maintenance at the Kailis engineering facility in Fremantle. during this period everything gets examined, maintained or replaced as these boats do not stop for 22 months. It was a huge effort that has left us all feeling a little tired. Special thanks to our Balinese engineer Ì Made Arjana who put in a herculean effort as well as Travis and Adam, our regular two skippers of this vessel and the team at Kailis Engineering. In another day or so she will enter the Pilbara trap fishery at North West Cape and will commence fishing. Bon Voyage !

02.01.2022 Here's why when fishing you should keep all your hatches and closures in good order.

01.01.2022 We have always been lucky to have great crews at Brown Dog Fishing,Sometimes they have a little bit of time on their hands and make up a short video compilation. Here’s one. Enjoy!

01.01.2022 Autolining in Iceland. This kind of captures a lot of things about fishing. Like how you are totally reliant on that 40 meters of steel around you.
