The high-stakes world of fishing in the Gulf of Carpentaria returns to U&Dave this Sunday with “Cape Carnage: Killer Catch.” In “The Wildcard Erupts,” the Davey family – who have fished these waters for over half a century – experience both the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, sometimes simultaneously.
The crew of the Wildcard are hunting Spanish mackerel, a prized catch worth a small fortune. While record hauls are within their grasp, the crew faces unexpected challenges. A carton shortage threatens their ability to preserve their haul, while circling sharks add extra danger to the already treacherous job. And in a shocking turn of events, pregnant crew member Jess sustains a severe injury, stabbing herself in the stomach hundreds of miles from proper medical assistance.
As if that weren’t enough, a sinking dory puts twenty percent of their profits at risk. Time, money, and the vast, unpredictable ocean all conspire to test the limits of the Wildcard crew. “Cape Carnage” brings high drama to the high seas, offering an unflinching look at the lives of those who risk everything for the “killer catch.”
“The Wildcard Erupts” airs Sunday, 4 May at 8:00 PM GMT on U&Dave.
