truth is, we are giving you the hunt wa discount.

youd have to get me at least 100$ bucks worth of drinks and a pack of smokes at the bar to get a quarter of this info and to earn my phone number.... anywhere else, youd might get beat up.
back in the day guys without jobs would hunt down kids like you at the bar, find out what boat they worked on and beat em up behind the bar saying they had a bowl or line, and when the boat was gonna leave,  theyd snake your spot, and cuz you had a busted arm, you went home and they went fishing and took your bunk :twocents: :twocents:

the bar is the most dangerous place for a fisherman, more guys die trying to get back on the boat trying to go to bed than acctually at sea or actual fishing   :twocents::twocents: :twocents:


so take this advice to heart

we aint makin nuthin up

ive fished from the Willapa Bay to the Bering Sea and aint just a crank spouting crap, ive crabbed, gillnetted, tendered, seined, and am a full time marine diesel mechanic, so, there is a reason why I can hop onto almost any boat (under a certain size) and be deck boss or engineer. started in 2007 and im only 29 to put it into perspective  :hello:

That's some crank spouting krap there

Or is it the crank that's making him spout the crap? :chuckle:

when scouting the docks make sure you include the ship canal and lake washington. A lot of boats like to secure in fresh water for the winter or their laydown period. Learn it all, i approve of getting chapmans and learning it cover to cover
I've slowed down enough in my old age to finally let the game catch up to me

Well, I would just like to thank every onewho helped or gave advice to me I Ended up landing a job on a salmon troller out of Sitka and I had a great season. Made some money and got to travel all over south east. Heres a little video of some clips I got while up there, sorry no footage of king fishing, cant really mess around and film, when its king season its balls to the wall. Anyways thanks and I hope you enjoy.

That's great. Trolling produces the best looking product. Glad it worked  out for you.

If you are interested in a cook inlet or bristol bay gill net gig, Hit up craigslist and search not only seattle, but alaska jobs for gill net, deckhand, boat, etc etc.  I used to be a commercial and charter fisherman for 10 years. I found my first gill net job off craigslist, it was the best gig I had to start off. Otherwise, like others have said, look to the sound and talk to captains. Congrats on the first deck job.  Keep working hard.

I think I may have seen a couple videos from that boat before. If my guess is right, you landed with a good one.  :tup:

I could probably hook the right person up in Cook Inlet but it’s not supposed to be a great season. If you really want to get your feet wet I’d go to the Bay they are predicting another 50 million fish season.

You already cashed that check man, you don't need to keep strokin'   :chuckle:

Capt. Kyle was really a great asset to have on the boat this year.  Later in the season, if we were under 200 coho a day, I could be a slipper skipper if I wanted - he owned the back deck and there was no compromise in quality.  Kyle doesn't know the meaning of quit, never heard him complain.  Tough.  And I've never seen a guy get so many tender/processor chicks to fawn over him like that before...

If he could only level up his clay pigeon game.  :chuckle:

Was great fishing with you man, you know you got a job again if Steve will let you loose.
