Deckhand wanted

I need an experienced block person to work with me on a 175  pot permit on my 40ft Oregon dory. Gear work starts around middle of next month. Pay depending on experience.

Where are you working out of. SF? Bodega bay?

I work two different jobs but do have down time during the winter. Have not worked on a crap boat. But have been a deckhand on sport fishing boats for a couple summer out of SF. If you can't find any one let me know.

Lo . He said crap boat.  Looks like a nice boat to me

Crab boat

I'm holding out for the TimeBandit or Nothwestern. Fuc it I'll use my yak and try lobster this yr.

 Crap boat.lol. Im sure brad just has that fancy auto corect on one of them fancy smart phones I bet. I grew up at pillar point/pacifica and caught my first salmon ever on the first huck finn when I was 11. Epic opportunity.

What kind of experience is needed for this kind of job?  What are the expectations of a block person/deckhand?  Sorry for such a simple question.

Yes it was an auto correct error.. Lol first party but I went out on was the Butchy B. I think I was 8. Lol

Experience needed would be at least a season of running block on another commercial Dungeness boat. My salmon deckhand just quit so I now have an opening for a greenhorn. These are not part time jobs. Expect to work every day including weekend and holidays . Expect back to back 20hr days. You'll be required to move hundreds of 100lbs+ a day and do this on a tossing boat in nasty sea conditions.

So it's essentially deadliest catch, minus the cold and cameras.  Still don't know what "running block" is, I'm entire noob when it comes to some of the fishing on the west coast.  I've spent some time on a shrimping boat in GA, never as a job.  It was still relatively hard work and it was only recreational, such tasty tasty recreating...so I can imagine how much harder it is throwing around those big pots.  Hold it down out there, and I'll keep enjoying your catch. 

Saw this on FB.
