Up and coming skipper looking for a boat to run.

(Also interested in a lease to buy option)

I have over 12 years of experience in the commercial fishing industry

and I am looking to move to the wheel house.

I have gillnetted in Area M and Bristol Bay.  

I have seined for salmon in Kodiak, Prince William, Southeast, and squid in California.

I have had plenty of experience both on deck and in the skiff.

I have also done some long lining. 

I'm 31, college educated, very competitive, hard working, and a highly driven individual.

I always like to be the high liner!

I constantly try to push myself as I have been a competitive athlete most of my life and I seek new challenges like getting my helicopter pilots license.

I have worked on some of the best boats and some that were far from it.

I have seen the best and worst of what the ocean and this industry can throw at a skipper and a crew and I know what works and what doesn't work.

My wide array of experience in several different fisheries allow me to realize the best strategies to apply  and run an effective vessel as well as the ability to think outside the box and excel.

I am looking to run a gillnetter or seiner for the 2017 salmon season in Area M, Bristol Bay, Prince William Sound or Southeast. Possibly other areas or fisheries as well. 

If you are interested in letting a young, ambitious, and aggressive

fisherman put your boat to work and make you a lot of money

please call Mike at 970 497 0654

Fishing Job Wanted

My dedicated work ethic is only matched by my good character.

Looking for a job on any type of fishing boat in any part of Alaska for the fall/winter seasons.
