Missoula Griz Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) Not a bad game. Takes a little while to figure out. My top score is $1,400,00. With the size of the pots, we must be fishing for snow crab. I think I need to head further north. It seems on the show thats where the best opilio fishing is. http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/deadlies.../game/game.html Edited May 2, 2007 by Missoula Griz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh B Tool Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Little tougher in the real world there skippers before you even start fishing you have weeks of grueling prep the likes of 90% of us have never experienced. Then there is the actual season. But hey you go boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh B Tool Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Those guys are bada$$. I guess you speak from experience Hugh B? Only salmon and herring for me. Offered, but never crabbed. Just know some of the major players on the show and in the biz. And yes they are bad ass, born and bred. That and quite a bit crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes they are bad ass, born and bred. That and quite a bit crazy. No doubt about it. Those guys work their asses off. I think I'll take my boat out this weekend, drop a line, put my feet up and think about how not-dangerous walleye fishing is. I may even eat a few crab legs.

A lot of these dudes fish for Dungy here in the NW offseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seattle LawDawg Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I'll take down some dungys whenever I can get them. They should never be used for crab cakes but straight out of the shell, they can't be beat.

TDFFFreak Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Have a friend who works on this show. He's says the captains of these boats can earn upwards of 500k a year. The reason they stay in the (very dangerous) job for so long is because many have bad drug habits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Alright, this is sort of confusing, I played a few times and never managed a whole lot of money. Always around $30K or so. Then, all of a sudden, I cashed in nearly $200K without doing anything different. Each time, I got a good enough boat, went class C rations and didn't skimp on the tools or first aid. Then I grabbed a well rounded crew (and went cheap where I could) so I could tackle any issues that came up. Each time, however, the game ended before I could get back to all my pots. The last one, I decided to get a big/slow boat and drop a bunch of pots in adjacent squares and just circle back to get them all. By the time I got back to each of them, the numbers were all above 40 (I assume a larger number is better) and I managed to harvest all my pots. I assumed that I'd rake it in this time and made...$30 freaking K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 OK, so doing the same thing I did last time, I got to $250K but the game ended before I was able to harvest my last pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason they stay in the (very dangerous) job for so long is because many have bad drug habits. And your friend is a foolish idiot for saying such nonsense. Most I actually "know" make great money and are for the most part great family men. They can all party like rockstars, but never on the job. NEVER. They have tenuous relationships due to the long time away from home etc. but drug habits to support while running million dollar operations? Yeah right.

Then there is the actual season. But hey you go boys Are you saying playing this game won't adequately prepare me for life as skipper of a crab boat?!?!? Fu*k it. I'm not even gonna bother then. Next thing I know you'll probably tell me I'm not qualified to fly an F-14 despite my Nintendo NES Top Gun training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next thing I know you'll probably tell me I'm not qualified to fly an F-14 despite my Nintendo NES Top Gun training. Actually.... from what I have been told by a few pilots(both small and commercial) is that the flight simulators on these games are very comparable to the real ones in training(no wonder I always F up the landing!)

detlef Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 OK, it's officially random. I just had my best haul and nothing went remotely right. All my dudes were freaking useless, I left a bunch of pots unharvested...And I made over $500K despite the fact that even those that i did harvest only read like 20 or so (again, I assume a high number is better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
