A fisherman or fisher is someone who captures fish and other animals from a body of water, or gathers shellfish. Worldwide, there are about 38 million commercial and subsistence fishermen and fish farmers. The term can also be applied to recreational fishermen and may be used to describe both men and women. Fishing has existed as a means of obtaining food since the Mesolithic period.

A. You have to be able to convince a fishboat captain to hire you. That's really what it boils down to. They are looking for physical strength, willingness to work very hard in dangerous conditions, and an understanding that you will be the most junior member of a team where everyone's effort counts and mistakes cost lives. Cooks and diesel mechanics generally get a little preference, but the only way a deckhand can learn the job is to do it. Turnover is enough that if you keep looking for work you'll find it, but you have to go ask for the job in person and show some hustle at whatever you're working at in the meantime.

A. The list WA guy posted is a good one with one caveat - the seasonal help hired by these companies generally are not "fishermen", but instead processors working in the factories processing the fish after it's been caught. Someone with a lot of drive (and a strong back) might work their way up. Most people who say they want to "work as a fisherman" are usually those who have been watching " Deadliest Catch" - those are much smaller boats, and the way to get jobs on boats like that are to be here (or Alaska), walk the docks and be prepared to work hard for little money until you can prove that you can do the job. Seattle is a good place to be to get into the larger processing companies - most of them have their offices here, and most of… [cont.]
