The way to salvage crab pots is actually very simple: that is, the ropes at both ends of the crab pots are salvaged one by one, and a pulley block is hung on the side of the boat, and the rope is connected to the winch through the pulley group, and then the crab pot is retracted.

Of course, it's easy to say, but the winch is not omnipotent, after all, the power of the winch is limited, and it is more difficult to solve things like hanging rocks in the crab pot, and if you forcibly pull the crab pot, it is easy to burn the winch motor。。。。。

Today, everyone on the 'Golden Pepper Fish' has opened their eyes。。。。。。

"Mr. Xiao, don't you have a winch on the ship?" Alexander handed Xiao Peng a cigarette, helped him light it, and asked Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng shook his head with a smile: "How is it possible? ”

Alexander nodded: "That's a high-end product." But I think it's a bit redundant for you to put on Ann's. ”

Xiao Peng nodded: "I think so after listening to your words, no, I found him a chance to exercise, didn't he?"

Alexander smiled wryly, "Now I don't know what I should do。。。。。。 ”

It is not without reason for him to say this, the boatswain on the crab fishing boat is responsible for operating the winch and crane when fishing the crab pots, and Yang Meng does all these jobs alone.

I saw that he was shirtless and wearing a life jacket, and he was pulling the crab pots out of the sea one by one there------ not that he was not afraid of the cold, but it was inconvenient to pull the rope in such heavy clothes.

"Something! Dungeness crabs! burst cages!" stood two men on the side of the boat, tasked with pulling the crab pots onto the boat, pouring the harvest into sorting bins, and changing the bait packets. Then put the crab pots back into the sea or put them away, and finally let others pick out the harvest that can be left behind. It was one of them who shouted.

The people on board cheered.

After all, the crab traps used on the boat are small 'lampshade type' crab pots, and the capacity is not large. Although it looks like there are a lot of crabs in it, it is too far from the big crab traps.

Those large crab pots may be able to harvest more than 200 crabs at a time, and this kind of small crab pots, excluding the small crabs and female crabs, can have 20 crabs per cage, which can make the people on the boat happy.

"Twenty-two!" shouted the fisherman in charge of sorting the crabs into the cockpit after counting the numbers.

Maxim had been waiting there for a long time with his head sticking his head, and after hearing this, he thought for a moment: "Collect the crab pot!"

Alexander frowned slightly after hearing this, there are obviously crabs here, why don't you strike while the iron is hot here, but you have to collect the crab pots? However, on the ship, the captain's orders must be carried out unconditionally, so he still instructed people to take off the used bait and pile up the crab pots.

Here Alexander laid out three strings of crab pots, two of which were not bad, and the other one was not very good. Alexander put away all three strings of crab pots, ran about six or seven nautical miles further north, and rearranged the three strings of crab pots back into the sea.

In the cockpit, Maxim was taking notes with a notebook, which was recording the captain's diary. The greatest treasure of these old captains is their captain's diary. The two girls were having dinner there, but they had processed too much pollock today, and they really didn't have an appetite after smelling the fishy smell of the day.

"Do you mind?" asked Xiao Peng, pointing to Maxim's notes.

Maxim smiled, "I will definitely not show it to others, but Mr. Samuel, of course you can." ”

For each captain, where they can catch prey is their secret, and each captain has his own 'feng shui treasure', which is a secret that even his wife can't tell. Maxim Ken let Xiao Peng see his captain's diary, which was a great trust.

Xiao Peng didn't look at Maxim's previous record, only his record today.

I have to say that the level of these old captains is really not covered, Maxim recorded today's date and water temperature and temperature, as well as the wind direction, wind speed and current direction in the notebook, and even detailed to the coordinates of each of the sixty cages in a string, the time of harvest, and the number of harvests in the cages are recorded clearly.

Maxim's book is thicker than a dictionary, and this is a fishing record accumulated over a long period of time!

Xiao Peng returned the diary to Maxim: "Maxim, you are a good captain!"

Maxim smiled bitterly: "You can't talk about a good captain, you can only use stupid methods, record it little by little." ”

Nikita interjected, "Can anyone tell me why there were crabs there just now but instead of continuing to lay their nets there, they chose to leave and come to a new place to lay their nets?"

Xiao Peng explained: "I told you, Maxim is a good captain, I really don't say this to praise him. You must know that the crab group is moving on the bottom of the sea, and his three strings of crab pots are the layout of the character, he judges the direction and scale of the crab group according to the number of harvests, and then guesses how long the crabs inside have been in the cage according to the state of the crabs in the crab pot, calculates the forward speed of the crab group, and comes here to stop the crab group, so that there will be a better harvest, this is the experience of the old captain. Maxim, the ship limits you, you deserve a bigger stage. ”

Maxim smiled bitterly: "How can it be so exaggerated, every captain has his own ability, fishermen, rely on the sky to eat, no captain dares to say that he will definitely be able to harvest and make money." And if you have a big ship, the cost is also high-risk, and if you run empty, then I may go bankrupt. Mr. Samuel, I won't tell you the truth, I'm here this time, and I don't even know how to repay the bank loan if I don't get enough to gain. ”

Xiao Peng smiled: "Believe me, I don't know if your lobster ration can be full this time, but there should be no problem with your Dungeness crab ration, you have found a good crab group." If you can keep up with this group of crabs, Dungeness crabs will be done. ”

Maxim was stunned: "Mr. Samuel, how do you know?"

Xiao Peng was asked instead, he couldn't say that he had let the mind clone go to the sea to see it, right? He shrugged his shoulders and said vaguely, "It's similar to you." ”

Maxim didn't ask, after all, every captain has his own secret: "Then it's up to you." ”

At this time, Yang Meng took a bath towel and walked over while wiping the water marks on his body: "Old Ma, how many crabs did you net just now?"

Maxim looked at the notebook: "The harvest is very good, more than two thousand one hundred pounds." It's been a long time since I've had this cool. ”

Yang Meng pursed his lips after hearing this: "If you use a big crab trap, one string will catch much more than your three strings of crab pots." ”

Maxim shrugged: "Eat as much as you want, how do you say that a big crab pot is a miserable thing if it is not harvested?

Xiao Peng smiled after hearing this: "Maxim, you can be modest with others, but you don't need to be like this with me, this Dungeness crab is an active growth period for shelling in autumn at this time of year, and now it is the period with the highest meat yield, so it is also the period with the most fishing boats." It's the peak fishing season, and your small boat dares to buy a ration of 15 tons, which shows that you are very confident in crab fishing. You just proved yourself. Are you from a crab hunting background?"

Maxim shook his head when he heard this: "I used to catch flounder with a gill net. You should also be able to tell that this ship turned out to be a gillnet. Now fishing is not as profitable as crab fishing, so I changed my boat to specialize in crab fishing. So far, the effect is still good. ”

After hearing this, Yang Meng pouted: "Do you earn enough money to repair the ship?"

After hearing this, Maxim smiled bitterly and stopped talking: "Hey, Yang, don't hit me, okay?"

Yang Meng wanted to continue arguing with Maxim, when suddenly an alarm sounded on the ship. Maxim picked up the radio: "This is the Golden Pepperfish." What's the trouble?"

"Thank God, this is the Reindeer! Hey, is this Maxim? I'm Doyle!" shouted over the radio.

Maxim listened, "Doyle, what's wrong?"

"Vake, I don't know who set up the big cage here, I didn't pay attention to it this night, I broke in, and now my propeller is entangled in the crab cage busbar. There was a scolding over the intercom.

"Don't worry, give me the coordinates. Maxim said into the walkie-talkie.

After Doyle on the walkie-talkie gave the coordinates to Maxim, Maxim was stunned after looking at it: "Okay, Doyle, don't worry, I'm not far from you, I'll rush over as soon as possible!"

"Thank you! I'll be waiting for you here!" Doyle hung up the radio.

Georgina asked, "What? Is there something wrong with your friend?"

Maxim replied: "We had a fight with them when our ship first came here. Doyle, this guy was so black that he broke my head, and I had six stitches at the time!"

"Huh?" Georgina was dumbfounded.

Maxim smiled: "Miss Georgina, there are rules on the sea, even if I fight with them and hear a distress signal at sea, I will go to see it as soon as possible." At sea, everyone is an opponent when fishing and crabbing, but no one will say no when they really need help. The only people who can help themselves at sea are other people at sea. Besides, even if he doesn't call me, I'm going to go to that coordinate. ”

Xiao Peng came back to his senses at this time: "It's not the big crab pot that pressed your crab pot, right?"

Maxim was operating the boat, and when he heard Xiao Peng's words, he nodded with a wry smile: "If you look at the coordinates, it may really be the big crab pot." The 'Reindeer' is a purse seine fishing boat, and it must have been entangled as a result of passing here. Anyway, they're really unlucky. I'm going to despise him when I see that guy for a while! ”

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "Okay, what a big person, don't gloat here! It's not a simple matter to rescue in the sea this day." Let's go over early and see what happens. ”

"Alright!" Maxim sped up.
