"Andrew has a hunch that the historic Mountain Maid gold mine might have a few moregolden surprises left in store, but it quickly starts to look like the old timers left nothing butrubbish in their wake.It’s finally time for the Poseidon crew to break ground on the Big Licence but a devastatingdiscovery threatens to derail their season and send thousands of dollars down the drain.Shane and Russell head 200km north in search of a new lease but quickly discover there is noplace like home as wrong turns and wild dogs cause lost time and sleepless nights."

Ken takes a roll in his bulldozer. Beavers threaten to shut down Big Al. Karl’s loader springs a leak.

Big Dog’s owner, independent oilman Autry Stevens, is racing to save 4 expiring leases that will be worth half a billion dollars in oil production “lose the leases lose the company.” On the rig, the pressure of 4 holes in 50 days has the roughnecks at each other’s throats. To make matters worse the day crew finds is forced to train a worm. Cheston has never set foot on an oil rig, and he soon finds out that working on a drill site is somewhere between joining a fraternity or a prison gang. You have to earn respect or get run off… or worse. Cheston’s main tormentor is the driller, Pee Wee. At 5’7” this Napoleonic powder keg rules with intense energy and a clenched fist. Within minutes, he’s ready to send Cheston scurrying down the road with his tail between his legs. But soon Pee Wee has another roughneck to worry about… oilfield veteran Gerald Williams in joining Big Dog 28… when he finally passes his drug test. Gerald and Cheston are friends and Gerald’s supposed to be the worm’s mentor on the rig…if he can get there. Even though shifts change, the rig never stops and neither does the drama. Ron is the driller on the night crew and his main job is wrangling roughnecks, Josh, Travis, and Brandon. But when Travis is late hot head Brandon wants to fight him on the rig. Tensions ratchet even higher when the rig finally finishes its first well and has to move the massive rig 1 mile to the next drill site.

A customer tries to rip off the store and quickly learns why you never mess with Les. Then, the Golds have the chance to buy a genuine Olympic torch. Will they win this deal or will victory elude them? And later, a raging car fire in the parking lot threatens to catch the power lines, but things take a turn for the worst when the family learns someone may be inside the car.

With Les gone, Ashley plots Seth's demise. Meanwhile, a customer wants big cash for his jewelry but a disagreement over its worth leads to a vicious standoff. Then, the Golds have the opportunity to buy a rare piece of signed Michael Jackson memorabilia. Seth dangles an enticing deal in front of the seller, but one of them may be getting the shaft. And later, Ashley goes all in against Seth. Will he outwit his sister or fall prey to her divisive plan?

Seth negotiates like a tiger when a trove of vintage sports cards comes through the door. Then, the Golds scream when a customer's jewelry is revealed to have been pierced through the most intimate of body parts. And later, a drunk customer gets belligerent, but when she calls Les the mother of all insults, he explodes like never before. Can security calm things down or will Les take things too far?

Ashley blows everyone away with her negotiating skills causing her feud with Seth to resurface. Then, Les is threatened with a trip to the hospital or worse when a shark suit sale goes wrong. Will he back down or throw down? And later, when the sibling rivalry reaches a fever pitch, Les is forced to make a decision that will change the way AJL does business forever.

Across the fleet supplies are running low, fish are migrating away from the coastal waters, and the season’s most violent storm is on the horizon. But with only a few days left in the season, captains across the fleet are doing whatever it takes to find the fish. On the Big Eye, Captain Chomps is low on bait and food, and without enough fish on board to make a paycheck, he’s headed for another broker trip. With only enough bait for one more set, he has no choice but to try to get the smallest boat in the fleet through the storm. Desperate to land a huge trip, Frances Anne owner Rick Mears pushed former captain Slick aside and took command of the boat. But they still haven’t broken even, and they’re also running low on bait and supplies. Rick has just enough bait for two more sets – his last chance to prove he still has what it takes to bring in the fish. On the Bjorn II, Captain Greenlaw’s also fishing through the storm trying to break even. But she’s forced off deck when her finger is crushed by the hauling block. As her battered crew tries desperately to bring in the gear, the brutal conditions send a deckhand overboard. Captain Scotty on the Eagle Eye II fears the storm will scatter the fish and put him back at square one. But the experienced captain gambles and sets his gear, hoping the fish are still around. But the storm makes setting twice as tough, and twice as dangerous. With each roll of the boat, the line stretches to its breaking point, ready to snap at any moment and lash back at the crew like a bullwhip loaded with razor sharp hooks.

Chris Kristjanson gets a call from a sick fisherman to finish his quota for the season. That means resetting nets and rushing to catch fish before the ice melts off the lake. Chris meets up with Trevor on the ice and tells him he’s setting in the wrong spot. The Father-Son confrontation continues in the cutting shed as the time constraints begin to wear thin. Meanwhile, the warmer weather creates a large ice wall on the lake between the shore and the remaining nets, causing concern for all of the Ice Viking crews.
