“Cape Carnage: Killer Catch” sets sail this Sunday, taking viewers into the treacherous waters of the Gulf of Carpentaria. This new series follows the Davey family, who have fished these challenging waters for over 50 years, as they begin their four-month Spanish mackerel season. Their target: 45 tonnes of mackerel, a goal that translates to a weekly profit of $65,000. No pressure, right?
The first episode, “A Stormy Start,” airing at 8:00 PM GMT on U&Dave, shows that Mother Nature has other plans. From the outset, the crew, led by Captain Bruce, faces brutal weather and relentless shark attacks that threaten to sink their ambitions before they even get started. As if the sharks and storms weren’t enough, a mechanical emergency presents yet another hurdle in their race to reach their weekly quota.
The series looks like it delivers a raw, unfiltered look at the life of a fishing family battling the elements and the odds in pursuit of a lucrative but dangerous catch. It’s a world where survival is paramount, and the stakes are as high as the waves crashing against their boat.
