The mackerel fishing season is a period that varies. Tt can last 2 months or 6 months. It depends on its migration. So far, no one has established how the mackerel migrates from one year to the next. No one knows. All the researchers have measured the scales, the length, and the eggs and still they didn’t say, none of them predicted that it would be a better or worse period.
If you don’t earn in the spring and summer, you have now other means to earn money in the winter. And it all means taxes, taxes to the state, everything, everything, you collect all money only in the spring. That’s about it. The mackerel season is for that.
If you got sick and lost the year, the money is gone. You’re not allowed, you drag it until mackerel season, you’re not allowed to get sick. It’s hard, you wait another year to earn that money.
