Hello,
6:45 A.M. Pots coming in very fast. Decide to clock operation while we are still in ten to twelve feet of water. Works out to fifty seconds between time marker buoy is gaffed and the emptied and rebaited pot is returned overboard. In between, the crabber must perform some fifteen separate and sometimes simultaneous actions……
