Prawn Trawler Boats Part 8 - Daylight Shot & Racking The Gear

After shooting away all night the crew winch up for the last time. This is known as the "daylight shot" because it is on daybreak. this one is what trawlermen want, 3 big cod-ends full of big clean catch!
Before sorting starts however, the gear needs to be racked, as daybreak means the end of trawling for the night.

They stowed the gear fast, our skipper wanted to clear the sorting tray first. We left the nets out with the cod end undone whilst we idled at about 900rpm in and sorted, this helped clean the nets as well.
