Product Description

Almost 130 miles off the coast of southern New England lies George Bank, one of the World's richest fishing grounds and home to the North Atlantic's most prized treasure, lobsters. Generations of American fishermen have ventured into these lush waters to earn a living from the sea, and things are no different today. But depleted resources near the coast have forced these men to hunt hundreds of miles out into the open sea. Every winter, as temperatures plummet and the sea turns stormy, the coveted lobsters migrate further and further into deep water in search of food and shelter during the winter months. As sea conditions reach their annual worst, the offshore lobstermen are quick to chase them. Cast your sails and hold on tight as our featured fleet, The Dragon Lady, the Timothy Michael, the William Bowe, the Direction and the Rachel Leah heads into deep water to make a haul during the worst weather conditions of the year. Watch in awe as our heroes push themselves to the absolute limits on a quest for sea gold, lobsters.

Customer Reviews

Drama off the Goerge Bank!
Similar to the Deadliest Catch Crab Series in feel and concept, Lobster Wars covers lobster fishing off Georges Bank in the Atlantic.

The lobsters are huge (when they catch them), but the boats are somewhat small compared to the crab boats.

Although the methodology is similar to the crab boats, there are many differences that the viewer will notice - the seas are less demanding, the conditions different, the people very different in their aopproach - and the series as a result has a different flavour.

If you liked the "Crab" series, then you will enjoy this one as well, so go for it!
