    So how long is the average shift for your boat? I’ve heard of people working 18 hours a day on these. Also how did you enter into this field? You really went all in if you went to Dutch harbor.. Any advice on how to get into this? It looks like the pay varies a lot but it’s all pretty good.

  • @beanthetyrant
    @beanthetyrant 3 роки тому +12

    I think this is really interesting. So how does it work? Do you stay at sea until you catch what you guys deem a good haul or do you guys stay on land and just go fishing everyday? Also do you stick to one kind of fish or everything goes? This vlog was great, by the way. Hope to see more like it.

    • @benosick8542
      @benosick8542 2 роки тому +10

      A trip lasts for usually 3 or 4 days, until the boat is full. A boat like this one mostly fishes for Alaskan Pollock, although occasionally they'll do Pacific Cod if there's quota left at the end of Cod season.

    Don’t know if you’re still on this channel or not. How would I go about finding a job like this? I work general labor, worked on a few slaughter houses as well and I love the ocean. I live far from it but every excuse I get I take a visit to the beach by myself. I like to go at night and just look out far into the sea. I’d really love a job like this, I’d have a hard time leaving. I’m 21.
