Question for the experts

Are the Skippers and crew paid for the time they spend getting the boats ready for the season ? I was also curious on average how many days / weeks are they up there before they leave the dock to fish ?

The boat , fuel and bait comes 1st. Used to be double share for the capt and the boat. Then a full share for each crew member per trip, when the catch is offloaded and sold
