CAPT'S LOG: TO STACK OR TO STORE THAT IS THE QUESTION
When we get ready to pick up the gear for the second time around there are alot of things to consider.The soak time should be 44-48 hrs even the second time around soak times are important.Before picking them up look at these things first or should i say think of these things. Season hrs are the most important and depending on how many pots you have soaking more than likely the season hrs are at about 85-88 hrs. At this time you have 2 choices either stack them which takes more time but by stacking the gear you will save money.2nd you can store them this option is where after the pot is empty the crew tosses it back in the water storing can cost in upwards of $1,200 bucks depending on how many pots are in the water.If you are a penny pintcher like some Capt's i know of .Hell some of them won't even stick money back in the boat unless it breaks but that IS NOT good business.The Crew and the Boat are the most important to a good season if the crews unhappy you WILL NOT get any work done .Then if you ignore the boat you risk your DECKBOSS doing more fixing than fishing and also risk a fire on board.Saving money by stacking the gear can easily backfire when running down the 24 hr whistle.The 24 hr whistle can make you alot of money or bust ya if you have alot of gear still in the water.
