Most of the boats these days belong to a “Co-Op”. Once each boat knows how many pounds of quota they are allowed to catch, there is some selling/trading of quota pounds between those who still own the quota but are not fishing, and those boats that are fishing the season but want/need more quota. Before the crab seasons start, the Department of Fish and Game determines how many pounds of each type of crab can be caught (without hurting the future of the fisheries), then divides that number up between the crab boats/captains – based upon percentages of the overall quota the boats/captains earned by their performance back in the derby years. The quota style of fishing was implemented with the King Crab 2005 / Opilio Crab 2006 fishing seasons. Once the Department of Fish and Game closed the season, the crabbers had to stop fishing (sometimes that was within 30 hours of when the season opened). King Crab 2004 and Opilio Crab 2005 were the last seasons run under the old “derby” style – where boats could fish for as many pounds of crab as they could catch, within the unknown time-frame of the crab season. What we do around town is generally restock perishable groceries, refill the fresh water tank and top off the fuel tank.Ĭould you explain “quota” (again I’m sure!)? I believe it is set by Fish & Game – but not sure. F/V Time Bandit leaves the town within a couple hours after the offload is complete.
How long the boat stays around “town” before offload will depend upon how quickly the processor gets around to starting the offload.

It takes 12-14 hours to unload a full two weeks’ worth of captured King Crab. When you guys pull into port to off-load, how long do you stay and what do you do in that time? While the Bulbous Bow is not actually used to break ice, it helps the front of the boat to ride above the ice, which helps lessen chances of the ice damaging the hull. It is full of air, and floats, which helps the front of the boat stay up out of the waves reducing drag, giving a smoother ride and improving fuel efficiency. The ‘Bulbous Bow’ was added to the front of Time Bandit in 2008. Was the bump on the nose of the Time Bandit recently attached? I seem to remember it not being on in earlier seasons. Our Captains do not care for them, as a really strong/powerful wave can knock it out of the window and into the guy sitting in the captain’s chair

That is called a ‘SPEICH’ it is a spinning window that keeps the glass free of rain, snow or sea water by rotating fast (using centrifugal force to keep clean).

I was wondering what the circles you see on some boat windows are? When asked, pretty much all I am allowed to say is “they’re fishing”. How’s the crabbing boys? I hope all is well! How’s their season going?Īnything that I (Sheryl) know about the boats, the crews and the catch has to be kept quiet until after the shows have aired. F/V Time Bandit has 5000 gallons of fresh water on board, and does not have a desalination system. They are very expensive to maintain, and they break a lot. Some boats have a desalination system, which removes salt from the water. How do they get fresh water on the boat for cooking and showering? Do they have to bring it with them or do they filter sea water? OK, here are the questions (in bold) and answers in no particular order: To see all of the questions already asked, and to keep up with future questions and answers, be sure to hop over to the Johnathan Hillstrand Facebook Page and give ’em a like! With a whole lot of help from his assistant Sheryl, the page has answered hundreds of fan questions over the last few years, and I’ve gathered together a number of my favorites here. Little did I realize that many of the questions I had (and many that I didn’t realize I wanted to know the answer to) have been answered each and every Friday on the Facebook page of F/V Time Bandit captain Johnathan Hillstrand!

I’ve been a huge fan of Discovery’s ground-breaking (sea-breaking?) reality series Deadliest Catch for a decade now, and after all those years I still had a number of questions about the show and Bering Sea crab fishing.
