Question about longlines etc.
Greetings my dear fishing friends, im new in this business und i like it :)
Besides some bugs i encountered so far i had a great time.

I recently bought me a longline fishing ship (this old boat from the 60's)
and asked myself why do i can bring 8 longlines with me but after 2-3 longlines my ship cargo is full.
Whats the purpose of this? Can someone explain this to me? Maybe im doing it wrong ;D probably^^

Best regards

Set some, collect and fill boat, set more run back to sell, collect lines...etc

Thanks for the quick response,
yea that sounds like the right way, i'll try this thank you :)

No problem, may take some tweaking to get the timing right. Start noticing how long it takes to set a line and stuff like that. Optimum soak time is around 19 hours.

I learned that the hard way to wait 19 hours, wasted 8 lines and got nearly bankrupt :D
Thank for your help :) Hope they release this longline hotfix quick :)

Yeah, I'm trawling now due to the longlines. Another tip for longlines set them parallel to each other, then run along the ends to collect them.
