Dungeness is just around the corner and I'm looking for a box person. That means you would be the 3rd crew member.

It's a tough job. You need to be able to be able to stack 100 lb wet crab pots 6 high solo. You will work for approximately 2 weeks getting gear ready without being paid. You will work for a percentage off catch. Percent depends on experience and ability. A small percentage(around 15% of your share) will be withheld until completion of the season.
I'm not going to buy your commercial licence. I'm not going to buy you foul weather gear and I'm not buying a ticket to get here.
After the first week you can expect 4 hrs of sleep every 24. You'll probably get some, but don't expect much sleep for the first week.
Commercial fishing is the most dangerous occupation in the United States. Crabbing is the most dangerous fishery and Dungeness is the most dangerous crab fishery. This is no joke. This gig sux, but is an opportunity to get into a lucrative fishery.
If your interested post up and we'll talk.

Don't all shout at once! I don't know how I can make it sound more appealing...

A cardboard sign begging for money is a lot lighter than a crab pot.  :smt011

Good luck Sharky.

I don't mind getting my ass kicked.  It's catching crabs that I don't want to happen to me.

You should take video and have a Deadliest Catch in California! Except with blue skies and beautiful trees LOL  :smt003

Seems like an awesome gig for someone with the time and love of crabbing in the ocean!

Hope the Demoic Acid doesn't shut down our season this year, I'm ready to get me some delicious crabbies!
