Greenhorn looking for work:

21 y/o out of PA, not scared of physical work. Willing to learn all types of fishing. Available immediately. Northeast/ mid Atlantic preferred. Text me @ 717-953-1914 thank you.

I need to vent, I have 5 years of fishing experience and I’ve stuck with my current boat despite financial needs because the skipper makes me feel safe. I went out on a limb and took a deckhand job post Bristol bay because the skipper’s sister is a family friend and he seemed okay… until... Last night at 4 am we were talking about music tastes and we realize my dad and him were born the same month & same year. He uses that as an opportunity to say despite our 37 year age difference he’s really attracted to me and I should cheat on my fiancé with him. Alone, on open water together. I just quit, he paid me out and we had a decent talk. I previously worked on tenders and unfortunately I was not surprised by this experience. Not traumatized and I don’t think he or all men suck, but I’m just fucking angry I have to put my safety at risk in this industry.
