Chapter 1047: Captain's Treasure

The method of fishing crab cages by crab boats is actually very simple: the rope at both ends of the crab cage is pulled up. A pulley block is hung on the ship's gunwale. The rope is connected to the winch through the pulley block, and then the crab cage is collected.
Of course, it is simple to say, but the winch is not omnipotent. After all, the power of the winch is limited. It is more difficult to solve things like hanging rocks on the crab cage. If the crab cage is pulled forcibly, it is easy to burn the winch motor. . . . .
Today, everyone on the "Jinjiao Fish" has opened their eyes. . . . . .
"Mr. Xiao, is there no winch on your boat?" Alexander handed Xiao Peng a cigarette, lit it for him, and asked Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng smiled and shook his head: "How is it possible? My boat uses a hydraulic towing winch."
Alexander nodded after hearing this: "That's a high-end product. But I think it's a bit redundant for you to wear the Ann."
Xiao Peng nodded: "I think so too after listening to your words. No, I gave him a chance to exercise, didn't he?"
Alexander smiled bitterly: "Now I don't know what I should do..."
He said this for no reason. The job of the captain on the crab boat was to operate the winch and crane when he was salvaging the crab cage, and Yang Meng did all these tasks alone.
I saw him wearing a life jacket naked to the upper body, pulling the crab cages out of the sea one by one--it's not that he was not afraid of the cold, it was really inconvenient to pull the rope in such heavy clothes.
"There is something! Treasure crab! The cage is burst!" Two people stood beside the ship. Their task was to pull the crab cage onto the boat, pour the harvest inside into the sorting box, and replace the bait bag. Then put the crab cage back into the sea or put it away, and finally let others pick out the harvest that can be left. It was one of them who shouted.
The people on the boat cheered.
After all, the crab cages used on the ship are small ‘lampshade’ crab cages with a small capacity. Although it looks like there are a lot of crabs in it, it is far from the large crab cages.
Those large crab cages may be able to harvest more than two hundred crabs in one harvest, and this kind of small crab cages, deducting the small crabs and female crabs, can have 20 per cage, which can make the people on the boat happy. .
"Twenty-two!" The fisherman in charge of sorting crabs shouted into the cockpit after counting the number.
Maxim has been waiting there with his head stretched out for a long time. After hearing this, he thought for a while: "Get the crab cage!"
Alexander frowned slightly when he heard this. There were crabs here. Why didn't he strike the iron while it was hot and collect the crab cages? However, on the ship, the captain's order must be executed unconditionally, so he still directs people to take off the used bait and pile up the crab cages.
Here Alexander arranged three crab cages, two of which were good, and the other one was not much. Alexander put away all three crab cages directly, and ran for about six or seven nautical miles further north, and then rearranged the three crab cages back into the sea.
In the cockpit, Maxim was holding a notebook to record, which was recording the captain's diary. The greatest asset of these old captains is their captain's diary. The two girls are having dinner there, but they have processed too much haddock today, and they really have no appetite after smelling the fish for a day.
"Mind?" Xiao Peng asked, pointing to Maxim's notes.
Maxim smiled and said, "I will definitely not show it to others, but Mr. Samuel, of course you can."
For every captain, where they can catch prey is their secret. Every captain has his own ‘gem shui treasure’, which is a secret that even his wife cannot tell. Maxim was willing to let Xiao Peng read his captain's diary, which was a great trust.
Xiao Peng didn't read 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, water temperature and temperature, and wind direction, wind speed and ocean current direction in his notebook, even down to a string of sixty cages. The coordinates, the time of harvest, and the number of harvests in the cage are clearly recorded.
Maxim's book is thicker than a dictionary. These are all fishing records accumulated over a long time!
Xiao Peng returned the diary to Maxim: "Maxim, you are a good captain!"
Maxim smiled bitterly: "A good captain can't talk about it. You can only use a clumsy way. Take notes bit by bit.
Nikita interjected: "Who can tell me why there were crabs there just now but they didn't continue to log off there, instead they chose to leave and come to a new place to log off?"
Xiao Peng explained: "I told you that Maxim is a good captain. I'm not touting him by saying that. You have to know that crabs move on the bottom of the sea, and his three strings of crab cages have a character layout. , He judges the direction and scale of the crabs according to the harvest quantity, and then guesses how long the crabs have been in the cage according to the crab status in the crab cage, and calculates the speed of the crabs. He came here to get out of the cage to stop the crabs. Group, this will have a better harvest. This is the experience of the old captain. Maxim, this ship limits you, you should have 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 have a harvest and make money. And if there is a big ship. The cost is also high and the risk is high. If I run empty, I may go bankrupt. Mr. Samuel, I can’t tell you, I’m here this time, it’s a last resort. If I don’t get enough harvest, I Even the bank loan doesn’t know how to repay it."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Believe me, I don't know if your lobster ration will be full this time, but there should be no problem with your precious crab ration. You have found a good crab group. If you can keep up with this The crabs, the treasure crabs are done."
Maxim was taken aback: "Mr. Samuel, how did you know?"
Xiao Peng was asked instead. He couldn't say that he had let Mind Clone go down to the sea to see it, right? He shrugged and said vaguely: "It's the same way as you."
Maxim did not ask, after all, every captain has his own secret: "Then I will thank you for your good words."
Yang Meng took a bath towel and walked over while wiping the water marks on his body: "Lao Ma, how many crabs did you catch?"
Maxim looked at the notebook: "The harvest is very good, more than two thousand one hundred pounds. It's been a long time since it was so cool."
Yang Meng curled his lips after hearing this: "If you use a large crab cage, one string will catch much more than your three strings of crab cages."
Maxim shrugged: "You can eat as much food as you want. How do you say that a big crab cage is a terrible thing if there is no harvest? You don't necessarily have crabs every time you get out of the cage, right?"
Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this: "Maxim, you can be humble with others, but you don't need to be like this to me. This time of year is the active growth period for shelling in autumn, and now it has the highest rate of meat production. It’s also the time when there are the most fishing boats. It’s the peak fishing period, and you dare to buy a ration of 15 tons on this small boat, which shows that you are confident in fishing. Just now you have proved yourself. You are fishing. Is it a crab?"
When Maxim heard this, he shook his head: "I used to be a gillnet to catch flounder. You should also be able to see that this boat was originally a gillnet fishing boat. Now fishing does not make much money by fishing, so I took The boat has been changed to catch crabs. So far, the effect is good."
After Yang Meng heard this, he straightened his lips: "Do you make enough money to repair the ship?"
After hearing this, Maxim smiled bitterly and said nothing: "Hey, Yang, will you stop hitting me?"
Yang Meng wanted to continue to quarrel with Maxim when suddenly an alarm sounded on the boat. Maxim picked up the radio easily: "This is the'Golden Pepper Fish'. Is there any trouble?"
"Thank God, this is the'Reindeer'! Hey, is it Maxim? I'm Doyle!" There was a shout on the radio.
After hearing this, Maxim said, "Doyle, what's the problem?"
"Vaco, I don't know who set up the big cage here. I didn't pay attention to it this night, and broke in. Now my propeller is entangled by the crab cage bus." A curse came from the intercom.
"Don't worry, give me the coordinates." Maxim said into the intercom.
After Doyle in the walkie-talkie gave the coordinates to Maksim, Maksim was taken aback: "Okay, Doyle, don't worry, I'm not far from you, I will rush over as soon as possible!"
"Thank you! I am waiting for you here!" Doyle hung up the radio.
Georgina asked, "What? Is your friend the problem?"
Maxim replied: "We had a fight with them when the ship first came here. This guy Doyle was very black and broke my head, causing me to have six stitches!"
"Huh?" Georgina was dumbfounded.
Maxim smiled and said: "Miss Georgina, there are maritime rules at sea. Even if I fight them badly and hear the call for help at sea, I will go there as soon as possible. At sea, arrest. When fishing and catching crabs, everyone is opponents, but when you really need help, no one will say no. The only people who can help yourself at sea are other people at sea. Besides, even if he doesn’t call me, I also want to go to that coordinate."
Xiao Peng regained his senses at this time: "Isn't it the big crab cage holding your crab cage?"
Maxim was driving the boat, and when he heard Xiao Peng's words, he nodded with a wry smile: "Looking at the coordinates, it is really possible that it is the string of crab cages. That'Reindeer' is a purse seine fishing boat. Come on. They are really unlucky. I will definitely despise that guy when I see him later! No one who broke my head will end well."
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "Okay, you're a big person, don't gloat here! Rescue in the sea this day is not a simple thing. Go ahead and see what's going on."
"Good!" Maxim increased the speed of the ship.
