Crab Fishing and Lobster Fishing
So I have had my first go at Crab fishing and I can say it is well done, the improvements to sorting time was well needed. It isnt very profitable but heh I am more concerned with whether its fun.

At the moment to drop the pots on crabs spotted on sonar, I brake the boat move a member of crew from rest to set/bait pot wait for them to walk out and set/bait pot and then move them back to rest afterwards. This way I can select where the pot is dropped to match findings of crab on sonar. After a 40 pot run this is very tedious and unnecessary. Please add a button to allow us to select when to drop pots. This would make this much more enjoyable.

So anyways after a good few hours dropping and collecting I had a cargo haul of 6600 kg including one pot of 500kg. You definately notice the cool moment of a big pot haul. I know from a selling perspective I should stay at it (each sale event lowers prices) but after a few hours on one job I wanted to do something else.

I have only done the solo lobster boat at the moment and I really enjoyed it, the boat needs a little more resilience though as it lost 9% overnight, still graphically and gameplay wise it was really enjoyable, made 18k less 2k repairs so the boat is expensive but it was fun. I will try them lobster boat today but I am wary as it has the same drop issues as the crab boats.

I have tried Knots Guilty and on single pots I had no problems really, on a string of 5 when collecting you get an extra bouy, if you get the one without the rope you get no catch and cant pick up the other one, its a bit weird.
