A new £12million pelagic boat presents trouble for Willie and Peter Tait on their hunt for a shoal of migrating mackerel when its state-of-the-art communications system breaks down and an engine fails. Meanwhile, James Buchan finds his cheaper method, using a delicate seine net, has its own risks as he searches for fish among wrecks on the seabed. Narrated by Peter Capaldi
On board Amity, Jimmy Buchan lands a hefty catch of prawns and wrestles with fears for his own safety and for the lives of his crew. On the Fruitful Harvest, Sandy swaps places with his 18-year-old apprentice in a role-reversal which turns out to be an eye-opening experience.

On the New Dawn, Chaz Bruce endures a nightmare trip
On the Sunrise, skipper John Stephen Sr is in poor health, which casts a shadow over the boat's future and leads to a daring rescue after he collapses suddenly. Viewers will remember the second boat, New Dawn, from last year. Life for the crew has been blighted by tragedy, though, since then: not long after filming of the last series was completed, Filipino deckhand Reynaldo Benitez, aged just 28, was lost at sea. It was a devastating blow to the crew who, a year on, are still struggling to come to terms with their loss. For the young skipper, Chaz Bruce, it means a fight to regain his dented confidence.
