IN PRODUCTION FOR DISCOVERY CHANNEL ~ LOBSTER WARS!!!

Lobster Wars

200 miles off the coast of New England, in the turbulent waters of the North Atlantic, a battle is being waged over lobster. As lobstermen set out from historic fishing towns like Gloucester, MA and Point Judith, RI, they continue a tradition that pre-dates the Pilgrims. These fifth generation lobstermen ply the same waters of their fathers, but increasingly scarce beds have created vicious Lobster turf wars -costing fortunes in ruined gear and lost opportunity.

Series starts Thursday, August 23!!

It sounds interesting. I wonder how they'll be able to capture attention after "The deadliest catch". Somehow chasing bugs just doesn't seem to compare to 30 foot seas, death measured in minutes, and ice-chipping with sledgehammers. I'll be tuning in to see how it is.

Thanks for the heads up!

Shoe:

I hear ya man! I think Discovery had a series on about New England Lobstermen last year that generated no where near the interest that Deadliest Catch did.

Discovery ran a promo last nite during Dirty Jobs and these boats looked pretty big. And the seas looked real nasty. I need a "fix" until Deadliest Catch returns in early 2008, so I'll be tuned in!!
