It’s winter in New England, which means only one thing to the LOBSTERMEN, hunting season! This March, Discovery Channel’s series LOBSTERMEN will take you right to the edge of the Continental Shelf to join five captains and their crews as they risk life and limb in pursuit of the prized Maine lobster.
The offshore lobster fishing fleet is preparing for a rough season on the high seas. Braving one of the most treacherous regions of the open sea, the LOBSTERMEN are in search of New England’s great clawed beast, Maine lobster. With resources depleted nearer the coast, these brave and ambitious men must take on the harsh waters of the North Atlantic hundreds of miles out into the open sea, where weather and sea conditions are at their worst.
A huge winter storm is brewing, but the lobster fisherman can't wait it out. If they don't get their gear out in time, they risk having thousands of dollars worth of trawls destroyed when the dragger fisherman tow through.
To make matters worse, the Captains across the harbour face some of their most difficult challenges of the season at the worst time possible. With temperatures at an all-time low and stakes running high, the traditional fisherman must outlast savvy entrepreneurs in a gruelling fight to claim what has been theirs for generations.
In addition to all this, the crews must put up with their Captains who each face challenges of their own. Captain Keith Chasse battles to navigate his rundown vessel, Captain Bligh, through impossible seas veteran, Captain Grant Moore worries about the safety of his young son who is learning the ropes, weather-beaten Captain Norbert Stamps must watch his temper which turns into rage when he is crossed, Captain Tim Handrigan struggles at the helm of the seemingly cursed Courtney Elizabeth and then there is Captain Joel Hovanesian, a ‘dragger’ who fuels tensions and animosity among the LOBSTERMEN.
Experience the danger of raging storms, and the mounting tension as dramas unfold on the high seas, in the following episodes of LOBSTERMEN
