How hard is it to find a boat? I have spent many years on fast paced boats here in maine trawl fishing lobster. but here it seems there are more people wanting a sternman job then there sternman jobs to be had. So securing a spot on the stern of a boat is very difficult task here in maine

Very good info..thank you

I've been picking blueberries and potatoes as peicework for the past 15 years here in the northeast..are there reason you say I wouldn't want this type of job in the northwest?

I'm guessing pay would reflect how much you can pick? Or is it a hourly wage?
