HIRING UPDATE for MAY & JUNE 2009
- These are the biggest hiring months for Alaska's commercial fisheries, due to the fact that thousands of salmon captains are firming up their plans for the summer months. Three different kinds of salmon fishing boats operate in Alaska, across multiple fisheries, from Ketchikan to False Pass. The one thing all those captains have in common? They need well-motivated, smart, hard-working crew members.
- The nine-month halibut and sablefish seasons are well underway now, and looking strong. Prices are robust, to say the least. This continues the trend of recent years, when longline crews have done very, very well. Best way to land a job on a longliner? Start on a salmon boat, "learn Alaska," stay sober and practice your knots.
