saltwater fishing charter
fishing charter boat job next summer?
I am moving down to South Carolina this year for college from Ky. Next summer I plan on heading towards the coast for a summer job. I would like to maybe be a deckhand on a fishing boat. I will pretty much settle for anything around boats. Any advice on how I might get a job on a fishing charter? I dont have any experience with saltwater fishing (though I do fish for bass in freshwater a fair amount) but I am trying to get as good of a head start on this as possible. Thanks.
Get a head start by getting down there now, to do some fishing (so you can appear reasonably knowledgeable) and maing contacts, letting them know you'd be interested in working there next summer, or even helping out for a day or two. Minimal experience is better than zero experience, by a long shot. With small businesses (which charter boats are) personal contact is essential to getting hired. Show a good attitude and a willingness to work hard.
Also, if your only experience is in freshwater, you ought to get out on the ocean for a few days to make sure sea sickness is not an issue.
