It was always a good place to find crabs, and they hoped that day would not be an exception. They prepped the crab pots and dropped them on the ocean, where they hoped there would be plenty of crustaceans. Then the wait came. They had to sit and let the cages drag on the ocean floor so that the crabs could find their bait and climb in it.
Even if it was
nearly the end of crab season, they hoped they would finish with a bang. They
had been very lucky the last weeks and had pulled up a lot of crab, but they
were worried their luck might be running out. It had been a booming year for
them and they didn’t want to mess it up.
