Places to fish?Fishing Jobs?Need a deckie along the west coast
Submitted by Pony181 on Thu, 2009-12-03 13:31
Hello all.
At the moment Im in Broome and heading down the west coast.My trip is based on fishing.I'll be heading all around the coast back up to nsw.
I am stuck to land based(as i have no boat) and was wondering if there are any hot spots along the way(im not after any secret spots) just a push in the right direction.
If any one needs a Deckie for a day or some one to chip in for fuel im more than keen.
Also more importantly i would like to get some work on a fishing boat,are there many companies along the west coast?
cheers for the help

try exmouth for deck work on a trawler just for the experiance , geraldton is probably the best bet tho .. more cray boats and wet liners there .

Exmouth
The trawlers finished their season in Exmouth about 3 weeks back and won't start untill March //April I think.
With crayfishing,there are less boats working more pots this season so jobs may be hard to find.With the whites starting their run and the prospect of huge bucks the deckies are not going to tell the boss to shove it for at least 6-8weeks.
