Mariah - I think the Oregon version is starting!
This week they showed a Sig Hansen Legacy show. It was very good. Sig wants desperately to come back to the Northwestern but everyone is persuading him to give it up. He is still smoking, but less. Edgar seems to think he will never give it up. Sig looked pretty good.

'Deadliest Catch' in Newport, Oregon starts tonight

http://www.kgw.com/…/deadliest-catch-in-newport-o…/315578482

Thanks Andme!

BB is on tonight, so I doubt I'll catch the first one. This is based in Newport, but I know fishermen from Coos Bay are going to be on it too, so it covers the mid/north Oregon coast. Should be cool. I'm sure I'll hear some "real tales" on Facebook.

Good article, it's pretty long too!

This past crabbing season, of which Discovery Channel was filming, was not without tragedy and difficulties. The opening of the fishery was delayed due to concerns around toxic levels of domoic acid in the crabs themselves. Two boats sank near Coos Bay – the F/V Eagle III and the F/V Sara Jo. Sadly, with a dramatic irony on par with a Greek tragedy, the F/V Sara Jo sank when she was making her way out to retrieve the F/V Eagle III’s pots that had been left in the water, in order to give money to the families of those that had lost their lives the week prior.

These boats were not a part of the Dungeon Cove cast, but their stories may make it on to the show regardless through Mayday calls over the VHF and SSB radios, potentially interviews with the Coast Guard, and inevitably the cast being familiar with the deceased, given the small town nature of the fishing industry.

If you’re familiar with the Newport Fleet, the captains and vessels will allegedly be Jim Burns of the F/V Galway out of Coos Bay, Oregon and a Newport, Oregon fleet made up of John Law of the F/V Lad Law, Gary Ripka of the F/V Redeemer and the F/V Western Breeze, and Mike Retherford of the R/V Excalibur and the F/V Winona J, as well as the F/V Western Hunter serving as a chaser vessel for all of the shots of the vessels on the water. The show will also follow the lives of the families on land, and I’m sure will follow the Coast Guard’s involvement as well.

I watched after all. It was pretty good. I know (via Facebook anyway) the families of the two fishing boats that were lost, it was sad seeing that clip of the skipper. The coast guard here is so amazing. I also had two friends die on that bar they showed in Coos Bay harbor entrance.

Cool to see the local area.
