The nets are coming up—and the pressure is on. Cape Carnage: Killer Catch heads into its season finale this Friday, June 6th at 11 AM ET on U&Dave, with “The Final Assault” finding the Wildcard crew more than two tonnes shy of their 45-tonne goal. For the Davey family, who’ve fished these waters for over half a century, the final push is more than just a job; it’s a test of grit, a matter of pride, and a bottom-line necessity.
The Gulf of Carpentaria—known for its lethal combination of crocs, sharks, and choppy conditions—becomes the backdrop for an all-out race against the clock. The series, which charts the family’s highs and lows through each fishing season, makes clear that the job isn’t just about killer catches; it’s about family ties tested, tempers flaring, and the sheer will to make it through another year.
From July to October, the waters swarm with fishermen chasing the highly profitable Spanish mackerel. This season has seen plenty of surprises, from equipment malfunctions to conflicts—and the finale is unlikely to pull any punches. Will they reach the target? Do family bonds hold? “The Final Assault” looks set to tackle those questions head-on.
“Cape Carnage: Killer Catch” airs Friday at 11:00 AM ET on U&Dave.
