How to Get Experience as a Fisherman

To gain experience as a fisherman, you can begin working in the industry as a deckhand or fish for fun near your home. Deckhands help out around the boat and earn hands-on experience working with a crew. You can also learn the necessary skills in vocational training programs, which are usually only offered near coastal areas. To find a job, you can ask friends and family for recommendations or work for companies that run fish-processing ships by merely submitting an application to their human resources department. Experienced fishermen become captain’s assistants and supervise deckhands.
