How long do the crab fisherman work in a year on Deadliest catch?

27.July, 2009

Was just wondering how long the actual season is for the guys. Do they go back out more than once a year or what?

King crab season is about three weeks in November and Opilio Season is about ten days in January. Of course this is subjected to change every year due to how the crabs are breeding and such. They can make anywhere from 10,000 to 35,000 during each season so at most maybe $70,000 with both seasons pulled together. That’s per man on boat too.

    I believe its a few months, at most. From what I understand, they make a seriously good living doing it.

    I think most work more than just that one season. They pick up other seasons as well. could be a short as 3 days, could be as long as a couple of weeks.

    There is fishing and crabbing that the same boats do.

    All depends on how much money they want to make.

    i think the way that it is now (well last season) was they only stayed out for as long as it took to make their quota for both of the "seasons" on Deadliest Catch". I believe that besides those two, they do fish for whatever else they want/choose/w/e so i think its is a to-be-determined kinda scenario. But good question. I want to know too, but that’s my best guess.

    They are several crab seasons in a year Opilio and King Crab on the show the Deadliest Catch both season are regulated by the Alaskan Fish and Game they set the mark on how much crab can be caught in a season King Crab is from October to November and Opilio is in January. Some seasons may very and depend upon the weather on the Bering Sea some can last for 5 days to 2 months and depending on the ships quota for the season I believe last years Opilio Crab Season was 250 Million Pounds with a fleet of 86 ships the season can end quick because each ship can hold between 180 to 200 crab pots. During a season if the boat reach maximum load they either can head to Dutch Harbor or St. Paul to offload their first catch and go back out to more before the season is done.
