Fun adventure!
I've also fished there, and while some things might've been moved around timewise, absolutely nothing felt dramatized nor staged. I remember that storm day last season, and very few boats stayed in the water during that time period. Laughable to hear critical "experts" come out of the woodwork, because that usually means jealousy is too much to bare. And the comedy of reality tv being "fake"! Because everyone loves watching other people snore while they sleep.... I mean, that IS real, right? What more "reality" would someone like to see? lol The characters on these boats seem to pop, which is why they were obviously chosen to star in this well-put together show, they all fished hard and had great seasons, and showed what it takes to catch the fish you find on your plate. These folks are real, and so aren't the adventures. Looking forward to Season 2!

Informative, but inaccurate
I fish in upper cook inlet drift gillnetting during the summers, the season is much longer than 6 days, it starts the 20th of June and runs until the second week of august. It is informative about the type of fishing and I do remember these exact days from last season. Overall its a decent show.

Lame
The only cool thing about this show is seeing the fish hit the net in the later episodes. The rest is pure junk, over dramatized nonsense. I'm a fisherman from the same area and when I saw the Discovery channel filming this, I figured it would result in pure embarrassment for our fishery. I wasn't too far off. You can see that they have all the days mixed up, the weather would change in every scene, the good sets were repeatedly shown (one time a set was shown to have been made the vessel Night's Edge, another time same set was shown to have been made by the vessel Paragon). HAHAHA! THEN again, we all know there is very little reality in reality shows. Lol
