Deadliest Catch’s 4th season premier has been announced by the Discovery Channel to take place on Tuesday, April 15. The documentary style reality TV show is my favorite series of this channel’s programming.
The Deadliest Catch portrays the every day life during the crabbing season of the captain and crew members of the crab fishing vessels on the Bering Sea. It shows both the dangers and normal work routines of this sometimes deadly occupation.
The port of Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska is the base of operations for all of the fleets featured on the show. The show gets it name because crab fishing on the Bering Sea is one of the most dangerous occupations in the world.
The series normally follows several boats during the 2 major crab fishing seasons, the Red or King Crab in October and the Orange or Opilio Crab in January.
Each of the shows has a story line or situation that occurs on one or more of the boats. There is focus on some of the new crew members or greenhorns. The captains and their searches for the crab are always featured with a competition taking place between each boat and crew.
The true dangers of the profession are always present and are presented in a real-life setting. Their number one fear of all the crews is the non forgiving weather that is ever present.
Three of the boats and crews featured on the Deadliest Catch are the Northwestern, the Time Bandit, and the Cornelia Marie.
Catch the first episode of the 2008 season on April 15 and get hooked.
