Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

After watching the operation of the two cages, Zhao Qin and the other two also understood the process clearly.

He was responsible for hanging the bait, Qian Bijun fixed the bait in the cage, and Chen Xun was responsible for tying the rope.

Lewis was still worried at first. After they finished one, he would check it to make sure the knots of the bait and the float were in compliance with the regulations.

He rarely gave the three of them a thumbs up.

Ivan wiped his wet face and said to Lewis, “Hey, Kent must have lied to us. This guy can’t be a billionaire.”

"Because he works so efficiently?"

"He's so skillful. I've never seen a novice crabber who can handle the fish so well and remain indifferent to the big waves that follow."

Lewis shrugged, "Maybe, this is just the beginning."

Not all of them were deployed. Only 80 cages were deployed in this area.

Kent changed the area again and shot 80.

The last one hundred cages were placed in the third area.

The reason for such dispersion is that no one can judge where there are crabs, so we can only try to place them in a few more places.

According to Kent, crabs at the bottom of the water have a path. If you can throw the crab cage right on the path, you will be rich.

If the cast is in a cross shape, then there may be only a few cages with catches. Of course, if you can't find the crab path at all, then the cages are most likely empty.

The next time is waiting.

Kent was sitting in the wheelhouse, using the radio to communicate with other ships.

We had steak for lunch, and after lunch, we started cleaning the deck.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and Zhao Qin felt that his entire face had lost all feeling. Damn, compared to freezing, he would rather be exposed to the sun in his own sea area.

We were busy until six o'clock in the afternoon, when Kent told everyone to start collecting the cages.

"It's not time yet?" Zhao Qin was surprised. He had heard before that it was best to put it in for more than fifteen hours each time.

"Zhao, the first time is just a test. If we are lucky and there are crabs there, we can just put away the cages, put the bait back in and put them back in."

Each cage is heavy enough, so there is no connecting rope between cages. Each cage is an independent individual and can be placed randomly.

When they reached the first cage throwing area, Lewis brought out the fireworks and started setting them off.

Just like in China, I wish you a good start.

Ivan held a hook in his hand. When the boat slowly approached the buoy, he quickly threw the hook and caught the buoy rope. This required a lot of skill.

If the hook is not hit the target the first time, the ship may have to make a sharp turn and come back to cast the hook again, which not only wastes fuel but also wastes time.

Ivan's aim was good. When the buoy was pulled ashore, the rope was hung on the winch through the crane.

Start the winch to pull the cage up, wait for the cage to come out of the water, and then use the crane to pull the cage onto the boat. There is a sorting table with two buckles on it.

Once the cage is pressed down, the buckle will open and lock the cage so that the cage will not move due to wind, waves and bumps and hit people.

When the first cage came out of the water, the three people who were laughing and talking suddenly lost their smiles, and Lewis even started cursing.

There were only four or five crabs in the cage, but there were several large octopuses.

However, local laws stipulate that no other fish can be caught during the red crab catching process. Violators will face heavy penalties, so these octopuses can only be thrown back into the sea.

After opening the crab cage, Tyron immediately dealt with the octopus, and then began to check the gender of the crabs.

After the inspection, Tai Lun cursed again.

In the wheelhouse, Kent also saw the situation in the cage and was in a bad mood. He asked through the walkie-talkie, "How many are in compliance?"

Tyron raised one hand, made a circle with his thumb and index finger, and roared loudly, "They are all damn female crabs."

That’s right, during the local crab fishing season, you are not allowed to catch female crabs, only large male crabs that meet the requirements are allowed.

"Well, this is just the first cage of the experiment. Don't be discouraged." Kent could only say to comfort them, "Put the cages in their corresponding positions first."

If there are crabs here, just put the bait back into the water.

But it is obvious that there is none here, so we can only choose another place to throw the cage.

Then came the second cage. This one was even worse. It was full of octopuses, weighing about 200 to 300 kilograms, and there was no trace of king crabs.

The third and fourth cages, which did not have crabs, were collected relatively quickly. In about an hour, all 80 cages in this area were collected.

More than half of the cages were completely empty, and a small number had a few.

After statistics, only 80 legal crabs were caught in the 70 cages in this area, which is less than the harvest of one cage.

Zhao Qin carefully observed the cages and found that all the cages of the Air Force were actually purchased by him from the system.

I smiled sadly. If it weren't for the system cage, maybe the harvest on the ship would be better.

But the system has no luck today, so the system cage cannot develop even a new species.

The second area was similar, with about a hundred crabs harvested.

The third area had the most cages, and the harvest was equally dismal until the last two cages, where each cage yielded 29 legal crabs.

The other cage was better and yielded 48.

All the cages were put away. It was already night. Kent looked at the map on the instrument and walked to the deck to discuss with everyone.

"It seems that the last two cages have found the crab path. I think we should extend the release to the west. It seems that this year's king crabs prefer deeper water areas."

"I agree." Lewis said.

Ivan and Tyrone shrugged, indicating that they would listen to Kent.

Kent nodded slightly and said to everyone, "Okay, everyone, please work hard and try to put all the cages in place before seven o'clock."

"I object." At this time, Zhao Qin spoke.

"Zhao, we have found the crab path."

"Kent, first of all, there are only two crab cages, and there are not many crabs. Well, even if this is what you call a crab road, is there a possibility that there are other boats operating ahead of you?

Are you going to hold a gun and force the other party to move out of the way?"

"This..." Kent also understood that what Zhao Qin said was the truth.

"Then where are you going?" Ivan asked impatiently.

"Eighty nautical miles north."

"Zhao, that place is no longer a mud pit..."

“Is fishing prohibited there?”

"That's not the case, but Zhao, the land base there is higher and the water level is shallower. It will take us more than four hours to get there. It's impossible..."

"Kent, please remember our agreement."

Zhao Qin looked at Lewis and the other two again, "I think you have seen that I am not a lazy person who knows nothing. I don't want to explain too much to you.

If my decision is wrong, it will not affect everyone's income.

If my decision is right, we can harvest more crabs, and your income will also increase."

The three of them looked at each other, and then all their eyes turned to Kent. On one side was an old friend whom they should support, but on the other side was the financial sponsor.

"Well, Zhao, I hope your Mazu is as effective as you say."
