I was blown away to see the early dawn LONGLINING pots for brown crab. I had heard of it before but never seen it in my years of pot fishing. Now that is some hairy shit with that many bites you can get caught in.

i heard of it too, but never seen it.....the earlydawn fukin' BANKED tho! (like 90+ grand per deckhand)...thats good shit!

yea, they made about 90,000 a deckhand and then they were going out to fish king crab to make even more bank. thats one hell of a paycheck.

90k??? For how long, a week? Goddamn. If I could handle cold weather I'd be up there in an instant. I literally can barely function in 20ºF, I can't even imagine it up there


Oh yeah, now that got an oil-rig reality show coming out, haha
 
I would love to be out there too.... I plow snow in winter so i love the cold, love the sea, but couldnt stay off land so long!

yeah i did sum research, and the "farwest leader" is a king AND opie boat.

it's owned by "trident seafoods"...which is BIG in Alaska for those who dont know.

..and now i dont see any reason why "Chili" wont be back.....i didnt know he was an engineer and deckboss w/ lots of experience...(i just thought he was a chump).

heres a link if any are interested:

i like the show....sucks tho that its not as competitive as it used to be. now every boat has a quota and they can only get that much.

my girlfriend is from dutch harbor. her dad still works as a longshoremen there. he says that deadliest is wrecking dutch harbor. everyone is to concerned about the tv show. he says everyone just plays to the cameras.

i still like the show. it sucks tho how this could be potentially bad for the town

i agree and disagree....i'm not gonna argue especially if your GF and her family are from dutch.

but....dutch harbor (just like most of AK) has ALWAYS had boom and bust industry...crab fishing, and now worldwide TV stardom is no different, and when you dont get a piece of it your gonna blame someone....so now those not banking wanna blame "deadliest catch"....i suppose i should have seen that coming.

i really hope i can post this video, i dont know if i can, but if i cant ill post the link where u can see it.

damn...i looked and looked, but i cant find it....i saw it on discovery.com and it was about the bar "latitudes"...located in dutch...originally purchased for like 800 bucks but recently sold for 400+ grand....and is for sale again...of course....

K+ if u can help me find the video again.

indeed yukon very good point.

i know that alot of hostility in the town comes from Discovery channel focusing its shows on ships that dont even come from dutch. most come from seattle.

also it would be cool if they would show something about the history of dutch. pretty crazy stuff up there. gotta love it.

good info again yukon. have a great 420 bro.

later

TNT that is the truth, and the key word is "highliner"!

"a "highliner" is a boat that has a reputation for goin out and makin bank season after season...most boats on D.C. are higliners, and spots on them dont come easy.
 
If sig didnt get pissed like that....he wouldnt be a great highliner. Doesnt help that hes not on the crab.

My big disappointment was with phil. He totally dropped the ball when he nodded off. NOT COOL. Ive known guys to get fired for that same shit. I guess redbull loses its wings after 55 of them.

It doesn't help that junior can't keep the crab count either. that kid is showing how big of an idiot he is this season.

junior was a doufus from the get-go last season (remember when edgar put about a hundred zipties on his raingear)...junior cut them off and chopped his gear up really bad ...then he thought it was "funny" to work w/ 1000 holes in his gear. (i dont think dude is all there) :confused:

not wearing their knives either... that alone should get junior kicked off.
northwestern has seemed to strike bad luck with this trip. they get a late start, can't find the crab, forget their good luck rituals... and to top it off the crew has seemed sloppy as hell which doesn't help

i see that 4 sho.

but...like we been sayin ...they're a "highliner".

they know where to go and who to talk to, and peeps will tell them where the crab are because next season they want that same "respect".

they will bank in the end... i can almost guarantee that.

..and i still cant wait to see matt whoooop juniors ass!!!!

if i was Sig id get rid of junior asap...id get rid of the D.C. camera crew asap, and i'd stik w/ edgar of course, keep matt, and hire a cpl good deckhands...like me.

if i was sig i'd be really pissed off too right now.

if i was capt phil...i'd kik both his kids off the boat and hire a cpl peeps that are about bizzzznes.

im nobody, so my thoughts dont matter

..level headed capt, w/ 2 greenhorns sucking up a very small percent.

and the boat is small and banking!

(it hasnt been said, but it's a rare thing")..earlydawn is a tight ship!
