Does the boat get a bad rap justly or unfairly?

scott is fairly new to the offshore industry. for years he worked inshore then bought a bigger boat and fished further out and on the crab bottom with no interference with anyone. then comes the day when that wasn't enough SO he decided to go east thats where the the highliners fish he doesn't set beside them he sets off their ends so they can't move he pins them down thats why he gets dragged up he has his traps on the bottom(shoaler) thats where the draggers fish the highliners have talked to the draggers for years and years and have a common interest to stay out of each others gear even though the draggers always win .when scotts gear gets dragged up he cries and cries to everyone out there draggers and lobstermen alike the draggers get frustratedbecause they are towing a safe place and there is gear there the boats he screws with are not on tv except the Direction 6 to 8 trawl conflict hopefully this sums it up for you

JUSTLY in my opinion

Thank for finally shedding some light on the Dragon Lady..He acts like a little kid coming into a playground with kids already playing on a structure and wants to get to the top and cries if he can't get his way...I'm glad you are letting all these DL followers know the truth about him, the show is making him seem alot different...Also the shows is only showing 5 boats out of many more that fish out there...

that sums it up. There are a few guys in my area that are the same way. Experience comes with time and sooner or later the DL might be accepted by the other boats. Until Scott see's the big picture, crying wont get him anywhere. You've got to start at the bottom to climb a mountain.
