I've just joined a trawler and it's the best decision I ever made. I absolutely love the job and the comradery.... Nothing beats it

[@darrencalvin1034]

I would love to do this job any advise and input on how.

[@KINGjackJACKjack]

I just joined one and im honestly so nervous to go on my first trip on the 17th and reading this honestly makes me feel a little better about my decision

[@Baba_Yaga_87]

@@KINGjackJACKjack best advice I can give you is listen to what they tell you... Have belief in yourself, don't give up, people will shout at you, it's not personal, welcome to the brotherhood sailor 👍

[@KINGjackJACKjack]

First trip went well! I just wanna say thank you man for the encouragement it honestly meant a lot at the time. And i can also confirm the job is incredible, people wise and just job wise:)

[@TomTom-df9ph]

I feel every respect for anyone coping with this way of life. I feel seasick just watching , yet Ben has not really complained. What a tough job. I I’ll appreciate my fish dinners forever.

[@ahmedhafoly5176]

[@chanchoyling4919]

Educational & well told...control over time allowed for prawn fishing is a good environmental measure...trawler fishing can be detrimental to the ocean sustainability as the “babies” are also hauled and discarded...yes respect the fishermen

Don't those sea gulls ever sleep

[@brendanbehan2289]

I fished in the 80,s on the Bering sea was young and foolish then, dangerous work wouldn't recommend it, if you want to go to sea try the merchant,train as a cadet a lot safer.

[@stevenjackson2799]

I fished there too, what buddy said about his first time out about hating the thought of it is spot on but now for some reason I miss it a lot and am thinking about going back

[@WWE2KUNIVERSEELITE]

Im guessing your a crabber?

[@richter-mi8oq]

Never go out to sea on your own......I know hes got a family to feed but I wouldnt risk my life for crabs

[@WhosAGoodDogue]
