How does deadliest catch get filmed?

Question

I mean I know that they are filmed on deck, but what about when they are filming from the water at the boat.

Answer 1

the scenes you are talking about are filmed from other boats, sometimes rented NAV boats are used.  Camera crews have even been know to make deals with other fishing vessels to allow the to film off their boat.

Answer 2

they have liltle bars that move around and people go and sit on them not that hard to figure out duh

Answer 3

I watched a behind the scenes episode and they do use other boats to film. They also use Coast Guard helicopters and for those close up views they use the big arm that is used for getting the crab pots and they extend that over the water.
