Using the App

For Everyone

Create Your Login: Before anything else, you need to make a profile. It’s like setting up a little home for yourself here. This lets you view all the job listings.

For Job Seekers (Crew, Gear Workers, Unloaders, Vendors)

Browse Jobs: Once logged in, you can see all the different jobs available. They're sorted into categories like "Crew", "Gear Work", "Unloader". This helps you find what you're looking for faster.

Contact Posters

Found a job you like? Great! Use our site to get in touch with the person or company that posted it.

For Job Posters (Vessel Owners, Vendors, etc.)

Contact Posters: Found a crew member, unloader, gear worker, or vendor you like? Great! Use our site to get in touch with the person or company that posted it.

Become a Subscriber

To put a job on our site, you need to be a paid member. Don’t worry; it's simple!

Choose how often you want to pay

Every 3 months (this is called "quarterly")

Every year (this is called "annually")

The day you pay is the day your subscription starts. So if you pay on January 1st, a 3-month subscription lasts until March 31st.

Post Your Job

After you subscribe, you can put up your job post. This tells everyone what kind of help or work you’re looking for.

Your Job is Up for 30 Days

Your job post will stay on our site for up to 30 days. Think of it as a big sign that says, “Hey, come work with us!” or "Hey, I'm looking for this type of work!" for a whole month. But if you find a good work fit before then, or change your mind, you can log in and take the post down at anytime.

Good to Know

Matching Made Easy

Our goal is to help everyone find what they’re looking for. Vessel owners find crew, crew members find boats, gear workers and unloaders find jobs, and vendors find businesses that need them. It’s like a big puzzle, and we help put the pieces together.

Keep Your Details Updated

Life changes, and when it does, make sure to update your contact info via our My Account screen. This makes sure you get messages and offers that fit what you’re looking for. This page also lets you delete outdated posts that are still live.

Thanks for being a part of our Fishing Jobs Hub community. Together, we make the fishing world a better place! If you have questions, reach out anytime. We're here to help!
