Well, it looks like I may need a set-net crewman or two next season (June 20 until about July 24).
Many Alaskans know that sockeye prices were terrible last year, and nobody made a whole lot of money (my crewmen made $4000 each, I pay expenses of getting there). Hopefully this season will be better. We will have a good time regardless.
One of my crewman has taken a full time job (in Texas of all places), the other one has not yet committed.
Figured I'd throw this out there now.
We fish the Ugashik District of Bristol Bay.
If you'd like, you can PM me.
I just thought I'd add; no alcohol or smoking of any kind, I can tolerate chew. There is no WIFI, and only 2G cell service, so no Snapchat, Instagram, live streaming, etc. Minimum age 17.

If I was 40 years younger, I'd love to go back to Bristol Bay.
Have not been back up since summer of 1989 on the Naknek.
Good luck securing your crewmen requirements.

Grandson is going to college in Penn state. I just sent him a picture of this post. he broke the record in his high school last year in a weight lifting competition.

I would have jumped on that in a heartbeat if I was 40 years younger also. I definitely meet your criteria and I was and still am never afraid of work.
Great offer!!!
