According to Travis's FB page he is fishing out of Oregon for crab this season. Wonder if the boat he is on will be filmed.

While it will be fun to get to know a whole other crab-fishing community I sincerely don't want to lose the ones we know. We've been following them for 12 years now through tragedy and triumph and everything in between and they're family. I will be thoroughly pissed off if we lose them. Of course I'm sure my threat will have them shaking in their boots.

I don't think they are dropping the Alaska crab boats, Dove. Sounds to me more that they are trying to expand and "franchise".

There was a short lived series on lobster fishing. Not much drama other than whether they would catch enough. Wicked Tuna is kind of the same as the Life on the Line show used to be. Lots of down time interspersed with blasts of excitement. The personalities of the crews play a big role. Without a big weather element, they don't have a 'deadliest' feel. Remember the salmon show where the TB and maybe the NW were tendering?

I really liked Swords: Life On The Line. A legitimate female captain on that one to boot, not used as a rating gimmick.

Captain Linda Greenlaw was the captain of the Hannah Boden, the Andrea Gails sister ship, of Perfect Storm fame. She had not been the captain of a fishing vessel for around a decade and came out of retirement to film that show. |

Gimmick or not, Captain Greenlaw was a fascinating woman. I enjoyed the show.

Captain Greenlaw was still a legitimately credentialed Swords captain who actually has books she has written on the fishery before the show ever existed. She may have come out of retirement to film, but her retirement capped an actual career. Not this business where you know the crabbers would not even consider having a woman aboard without the show money behind it.

Here's a little "background" on Captain Greenlaw: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Greenlaw#MysteryHere's Captain Greenlaw's official Website: www.lindagreenlawbooks.com/She certainly seems to have a better track record and set of credentials than some of the "Captains" foisted on us by DC! (By the way, Linda never actually appeared in the "Perfect Storm" movie -- her part was played by Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio.) |

I love, love, love Captain Greenlaw. I have read all of her books (except for the last one). She is the real deal - with plenty of experience at sea and with old salts. I watch her any day of the week.

Er..."The Graveyard of the Pacific" is a nickname for a stretch of the coastal region in the Pacific Northwest, from Tillamook Bay on the Oregon Coast northward to Cape Scott Provincial Park on Vancouver Island. The unpredictable weather conditions and coast characteristics have caused a significant number of shipwrecks in this area.

Derby style fishing and a weather element? Sounds interesting.
