The crab fishing fleet's crab boats.
Sailed majestically out of Amaknak Harbor.
These vessels would scatter after leaving the coast for a distance.
Experienced crab captains would rely on intuition to determine where the crab fishing grounds would be fruitful.
On the one hand.
The deep waters of the Bering Sea would be affected by currents from the Arctic.
Often with monstrous waves.
In the face of harsh sea conditions.
Crab boats needed to gamble with death.
On the other hand.
Hundreds of meters deep under the sea.
It could be empty.
Or perhaps a full haul.
How many Alaskan King Crabs the crab pots could bring back was largely a matter of luck.
Crab boats needed to wrestle with the goddess of fortune.
On the public radio, pre-departure wishes were exchanged between captains.
“It's a good day today, hope the waves will take a day off.”
“Guys, did you prepare enough coffee and cigarettes? Go for it! Maybe you can win that unreliable Crab Season Grand Prize from the Fish and Wildlife Service and Discovery Channel! Hunting in Alaska is a great vacation!”
“Come back alive, good luck.”
One rough voice after another echoed through the radio frequencies.
The audience in the live stream.
Had never seen such a sight!
【So many crab boats going out to sea together, what a spectacle!】
【Those who don't know might think they are going to fight a naval battle, today is another day of learning√】
【Go for it Xu Ge! Go for it Yi Ying Jie! Safety first, crab second.】
In reality.
The audience wasn't too worried about Yang Xu and the two of them's safety.
Professional crab boats would carry 150-300 crab pots.
Yang Xu only equipped the 'Yunfan' with 5 crab pots.
He was completely experiencing life.
The risk factor would be significantly reduced.
Yang Xu leaned on the sofa in the cockpit and said to the audience:
“These crab boats will disperse after leaving the port. Gathering together is not their preferred way of fishing.”
Yi Ying took over and echoed:
“The crab fishing grounds in the Bering Sea are vast, don't be fooled by the sight of these crab boats at the port, once they disperse into the fishing grounds, they are like sesame seeds scattered into a pond.”
Before they set sail.
Yang Xu and Yi Ying had already planned their crab fishing route.
After leaving the port.
Heading northwest.
A distance of 150 nautical miles.
At most two days round trip.
Other professional crab boats would spend at least five to seven days at sea.
They were just experiencing the process of catching King Crabs.
There was no need to suffer in the harsh waters of the Bering Sea for a long time.
Along the coast of the port, there was a Fish and Wildlife Service coastal patrol team.
A helicopter was responsible for rescue work.
Every year, there were deaths during crab fishing operations, and the Fish and Wildlife Service needed to ensure the death rate was reduced.
After all, the title of 'most dangerous occupation' was not a good reputation...
After a few hours out.
60 nautical miles off the coast.
The Yunfan gradually left the crab fishing fleet.
Heading towards the target area 150 nautical miles away.
The audience in the live stream, everyone turned into curious babies.
Questions were endless.
After all, everyone knew about Alaskan King Crabs.
But how this expensive seafood king was caught from the deep sea, not many people knew.
【These huge crab pots are thrown into the sea, won't they get lost?】
【This is much more exciting than dropping nets in a fish pond! The sea is endless! Catching King Crabs!】
【It's easy to drop these crab pots into the sea, but it takes some technique to retrieve them, right?】
【Now you're not worried about whether Xu Ge can catch crabs, it would be awkward if the crab pots were lost~2333】
Yi Ying glanced at the bullet screen comments in the live stream.
She couldn't help but burst out laughing.
“Xu Ge feels offended, hahaha~”
Saying is saying, laughing is laughing.
Then Yi Ying still said seriously:
“What era is it now, GPS positioning is widely used.”
“Those crab pots that are placed in the sea, will be connected to a buoy, which has a signal intentionally captured by the ship, the crab pots can't be lost.”
As she spoke.
Yi Ying directed the camera in the live stream.
Towards the five crab pots on the deck.
In addition to connecting to hundreds of meters of rope.
There were also colorful floating balls.
At this time, Yang Xu took out an action camera from the yacht's storage room.
“Install this on one of the crab pots.”
Yang Xu went up on deck and randomly picked a crab pot, installing the action camera on it.
The audience in the live stream naturally didn't understand.
【This Xu Ge is fishing for crabs, it seems a little expensive... This GoPro action camera probably costs 3,000 yuan.】
【Do other crab boats install cameras on their crab pots?】
Yi Ying smiled sweetly and said:
“It's just to satisfy our curiosity, we can see the King Crabs entering the crab pots later.”
Yang Xu secured the action camera and added:
“We have special crab fishing techniques.”
After all, other crab boats are going to the Bering Sea to make a living.
They depend on this for a living, they have to go all out.
Yang Xu and Yi Ying are different.
To put it nicely, it's called experiencing the crab fishing process.
To put it bluntly, it's just for fun...
However!
After the 'Yunfan' was 60 nautical miles off the coast.
【Radar Template (Alaska Enhanced Version)】suddenly sent a reminder feedback!
【Congratulations! D-grade rare species found within a 10 nautical mile radius!】
This reminder feedback!
Energized Yang Xu.
The last time he discovered a D-grade species, it was that oxblood red coral!
It seems this course was chosen correctly!
