I had hoped that after a GREAT year in the Bay, strong halibut prices and a near-shore run of albacore, my attitude might improve. It has not. With things being so busy in both the fish world and my own, I just do not have the time nor the inclination to keep this blog up.
They are making ready to film season four of the Tuesday night Train Wreck. All of the usual suspects will be back with perhaps one notable exception. I am hearing that some things will depend on whether or not some boats will get the same "deal" as the NW (who reportedly has been paid an ENORMOUS sum of money). Then there are all of those promotional junkets that the guys are going on. Word is that some of them are paying for it all themselves - can't get enough of the fan love.

There are a couple of people posting on different sights that want an awful lot of attention. For any one suckered in by the whole F/V My Girl thing, well, the line about one being born every minute says it the best....The My Girl is a gill netter out of Bristol Bay. No female captains or crews in the big boat fleet. Sorry! And um, well, no Captain abbreviates that word as Cap - it is always Capt.
Then there is the loser who is posting pictures and wanting it to be all about him. Gets his kicks by trashing every boat he can. Pretends to be buds with some of the guys in the show, then trashes them. Dude, I actually KNOW you and you are SO flippin' lame! You don't have drinks with or visit with these guys. You are the weirdo who hangs out in the back of the bar and no one talks to.
In closing, watch Season 4 with the sound turned of. Don't believe any story line you see. And don't criticize a food producer with your mouth full.

PS Hey, lighten up on the lobstermen. Those guys and gals work their tails off. Different fishery, different ocean and different boats. True, its not the Bering or even the North Pacific, but its brutal work at sea all the same. They all deserve your respect.
