The fishermen didn’t often go to this area of the sea, and they did not know the area very well. They had to search for the next best spot to drop the crab cages, and that meant the three had to head out to find deeper waters.
Mallory was the one who was trying to find the best spot to boat towards. She was looking through the binoculars trying to navigate the unfamiliar waters. It did not matter how much they knew this sea, they still had to be very careful, since they were entering a part of the sea that was much colder than they were used to.
Hitting The Jackpot!
Their first catch of the day was mind-blowing! When they got the first cage out of the water, they couldn’t believe their eyes. They caught so many crabs! This seemed like a good sign - they had a feeling their day was going to be a good one.
Going into this day, they had high hopes of finishing their season off with a major crab jackpot, and with this amazing catch, it seemed that this dream came true. The friends were giddy and couldn’t stop giving each other high fives. They had to try and contain their excitement for a moment, as it was now time for the next catch.
Such A Good Catch!
This day turned out to be extra lucky for the fisherman friends. They were extremely excited about these catches. In fact, these were the best catches that they had had for weeks. They knew that this catch would be beneficial to them in many ways, they would be able to sell even more to restaurants and local businesses.
When Mallory Allan and Cliff finally finished collecting the crabs from their first spot, they were ready to move to the next location, which was deeper into the sea. The fisherman thought that it would be best to head out four miles from the shore in order to get the most amount of crabs for their catch.
Calm And Beautiful Nature
They had to continuously check their coordinates every few minutes, since they were navigating towards an unfamiliar location. They saw that it was going to be a while before they were able to finally stop at the spot. But that did not mean that it was going to be smooth sailing. They had to keep their eyes peeled for icebergs.
It was uncharted territory for them. They started to see birds flying above them, they saw icebergs and even seals laying on top of the ice. The atmosphere was calm and serene. The three fishermen soaked in this new experience.
Massive Icebergs
Filled with huge icebergs that are insanely dangerous for sailors and fishermen, the Labrador Sea is known as one of the coldest bodies of water. The fishermen crew knew this, and were being extremely careful looking out for icebergs to avoid disastrous situations.
One wrong move among the icebergs would be a complete disaster for the fisherman. They had to observe. That being said, they knew how to navigate these difficult waters. They had a system, one fisherman would steer the boat while the other would make sure and keep an eye out on their surroundings.
