In the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean, two rival deep south fishing families battle each other and the elements to go after a cash crop of jellyfish known as "Jelly Balls."
Veteran fisherman Ack joins the Gale brothers on the "Tal and Al" while On the "Captain Connor," Captain Michael Boone hauls ass to catch enough jellyballs to deliver on a big contract.
Early south winds push the jellyballs over 50 miles north to Savannah, out of reach for the "Tal and Al" and "Captain Connor," just as experienced shrimper Lester Perry and his boat "Blessed Assurance" take their first jellyballing trip.
The Department of Natural Resources hops aboard the "Sea Miner" to study the effectiveness of Captain Howell's new technology that aims to keep turtles out of jellyball nets.
Bad news at the doctor's office can't keep Captain Darryl Gale of the "Tal and Al" off from jellyballing. Meanwhile, his brother Captain Wynn Gale goes hog hunting with his buddies to take his mind off of boat mechanical problems.
Captain Gale Wynn of the "Tal and Al" accepts a construction job to make up for the loss of income with jellyballs while Captain Howell Boone and the "Sea Miner" try to catch enough jellyballs to make good on a contract.
With the jellyball season winding down, Captain Wynn Gale starts his new job at the work site until the start of shrimping season. Meanwhile, the boats are blessed at the annual Blessing of the Fleet in Darien.
