Thanks LA, I always apprehensive support 🙏

That collaboration with Philly Dom will get you some more supporters.

I wouldn’t mind that lol as long as they’re enjoying what I’m making is all that matters to me

@@RTLivingFree did you ever see that cool video about Cordova that Margeaux Bailey made? Go to her channel. She only has two videos up, so you can't miss it.

@@imagesinla8575 Haven't seen it yet, but I'm gonna find it! I'm always down to see more content from Cordova

Arphaxad 101 SWEET DUDE!! You gonna take the job? I know you’re already on a salmon boat but it’s sick you’re getting a second opportunity already. And How long is the halibut season?

I need work

What’s going on, fellas? Are any of you still on KZfaq ready to respond to questions? Haha

@@SomeAftermath im still here

@@HonorforONEFilms Thanks for responding, man! I was hoping you'd tell me about your journey and maybe give me some advice about the career path.

Best of luck out there man, are you going out this summer? Where you going to?

Gabriel Buxton congrats on diving in man! If there is one thing you ought to know before hopping on a seiner, it’s honestly that your job depends on how likeable you are to your captain and crew. More crew lose their jobs to interpersonal issues than injury. If you like your captain and crew, and if they like you, you will have the best summer of your life. If you don’t like your crew or your captain doesn’t like you after a few weeks, you’ll have a bad time and could lose your job. Also, there’s no way to apply online- you’ll need to walk the docks to find your captain. In short, go out there, be genuine, be ready and willing to learn, listen to your captain, be excited everyday you work, and bust your ass every opportunity you can. Do that and you’ll win more than just money this summer. Best of luck Gabriel, and happy fishing 🎣

get in shape it will make piling gear a lot easier also learn how to cook

Ahaha! damn man, you dove right in! Congrats on the job, I know a lot of guys are looking for help right now. Where are you fishing from? What vessel you with?

Anna Lunsford YES! my boat will actually be in town tonight and tomorrow! Send him my way! He can message me on Instagram @broke_n_free and I can show him our boat tonight or tomorrow!

Thanks! It's all about attitude out there, As far as experience goes, you don't need any to start. You'll get a larger crewshare if you do, but a lot of captains look for people without experience specifically because they are more teachable than guys with experience. If you look for a job as a greenhorn, you're as likely to find a job as you would if you had experience. Coming from Iowa will not help or hinder you if you look for a job in Alaska! It's worth a shot!

@@RTLivingFree thanks pal. any recommendations for websites to get hired?

@@corybowman4239 oooooooh there's no website for Alaskan salmon fishing jobs. You need to walk the docks until you find someone to take you. That's just about the only way in Alaska

​@@RTLivingFree Not completely true! There are many many Facebook groups that you can find jobs on. These have been especially key during this pandemic because you can't freely travel to Alaska and walk the docks, but they also are pretty busy normally. A few important ones are "Bristol Bay, AK: Jobs, Rumors & B.S." , "Southeast Alaska Purse Seiners" , "Alaska Commercial Fisherman Jobs", and "Bristol Bay Fishermen". I'd say these are best groups that I know of, the Rumors and B.S. group is especially good for finding jobs. Spend some time reading through the posts and familiarizing yourself with the way things are written and talked about, then you could make a "job seeking" profile post for yourself, and/or respond to boats looking for crew. Make sure to do your research before putting yourself out there, most of the guys in the groups have little patience for people who clearly haven't put in the time to know what they're looking for. While walking the docks is a great way to gain experience and is traditionally the "fisherman's way," it can cost you a lot of money and uncertainty while you search for a job. Lining one up before you go to Alaska can be a smart and more secure option. They offer different experiences and neither is better than other. Best of luck out there, and remember to never take the first offer because there will be more!

@@corybowman4239 Not sure if you'll see this, but check out my comment below to get some advice on finding a fishing job online!

That’s an awesome question. I’d tell you to look for gillnetters and seiners. Pot fishing (like on deadliest catch) can get pretty hairy. Long lining is another one that can get dicey because you’re working with hooks every day. A mistake at the wrong time gets you impaled. Seiners and gillnetters are safer by far. You run the risk of getting caught in the net and drowning, or caught in the hydraulics, but those risks are more easily managed than with different kinds of fishing. I felt safe on my seiner. Lowest risk of all of them is the tenders. It’s a good place For anyone to start. You may even get to fish for a day or two of a boat allows you to go with them for a sample day.

If you follow my channel you’ll learn everything you need to know! Check out my playlist called The Greenhorn Guide! Something else to note is something I talk about in my video “Tour a Sein Boat with Philly Don” and my videos about Walking the Docks, but there is no online application for these jobs, you need to walk up to boats in the harbor and ask if anyone is hiring. It’s a bit of a gamble, but there’s often people looking for help توبیاص گرمیلر

Onosai Leota solid question, it’s hard to say outright though. It depends on a lot of factors because you’re getting paid by a crewshare, not by the hour. And you get paid at the end of the season, not bi-weekly. As a Greenhorn you could be offered anywhere from 6-9% of the boat earnings on a boat like a sein boat. At 7% on a bad season for 3 months in Prince William Sound I made close to 11k the summer I recorded this. This past year I made 2% more and the season provided more fish for us, I made 20k in the same time. Both years I’ve been blessed to be on a boat where my captain knows how to catch fish. Regrettably for some crew, not every fisherman is good at fishing. As you can see, the business offers no guarantees, but if you’re resilient, ambitious, and lucky, you an do pretty well for yourself

Thanks for the information man!!!! Great pay!! Any numbers I can call right now for work asap? Or your number. I want to work and gain experience soon as possible please let me know.

Onosai Leota tragically no, that’s the thing about fishing. There’s no organizing body, no lost of emails, no applications, and no guarantees. There’s not many easy venues to getting the job. You really can only land this job by walking the docks in a place you want to fish, and if you seem like you can do the job right then someone will ask you. You really need to walk out on faith and hope that you get lucky.

@@RTLivingFree man thank you guess who's taking a long walk on the docks tomorrow morning!? That's right I am going to take this advice and take a big leap of faith that someone will see I can do it. Then I will show them

Haha! You would be surprised my man, I worked alongside one guy who was 67years old. He made the best fried grits and even better sourdough pancakes. If you're ale bodied then you can make it work. Even if you're not able bodied you can do it, it's just gonna hurt lol I worked with another guy who was 40ish but had metal plates in his back and he just had to deal with it. He didn't like it but he got the job done. If you want a job, and you look like you can work hard, someone will take you!
