Hi Alan,

I see you may already have the job filled but I am a passionate, highly motivated and capable greenhorn looking for a boat that is willing to teach me well this season. I did get an ounce of experience gillnetting in the Puget Sound this past summer and am looking to expand on those skills that I acquired. The fast paced environment of the Bristol Bay salmon run is intriguing to me! I’m 19, a student and currently in Bellingham, WA. If you do not have space to fill perhaps you have contacts that need someone. Thank you for your consideration!

Hi, my name is Shaun Winton, I’m reaching out to you for a possible position on your boat. I don’t have any prior experience in fishing but I do have experience in working long grueling hours from my current job in the cell tower industry. Average 16 hour days in the 108 degree Vegas heat, working 3 weeks straight, and sometimes over 24 hours. I’m highly motivated and very healthy, I maintain a regular work out and eating regime despite the challenge of wanting to go to sleep after long days or finding convenience in eating fast food... I always strive to push myself further mentally and physically and feel that with my attitude and work ethic I would be a great hand for you.

GREENHORN ALASKAN FEMALE, seeking deckhand position. To paint a picture of myself & strength abilities. I played 4 years of college soccer, I have completed 2 - half marathons within the last three years, and I have worked within the north slope Area between deadhorse and point Thompson 3/3 rotations 12-16 hour days. I am comfortable to remote locations, tight shared quarters, and outhouse facilities. I am an excellent cook. I hold my own very well. I was raised in a military family with ALL brothers no sisters. 6 years of Tae Kwon Do, No abuse of drug or alcohol problemsN and I am rather easy to get along with. I worked in the construction field so I am not offended by any wild jargon. I have a tough skin, I follow directions, fast hands, and a quick learner. I love fishing, and have spend most of my summers on a boats fishing but never to the commercial level. I have previously experience the Bristol bay season as a guest. So I am very familiar with what is expected of me and for how long. If selected I am available to till the captain calls end.
