I've finally had enough of the entertainment industry. I've spent the last 10 years traveling the planet setting up stages for concerts, corporate events and television programs. I'm over it, it's time to walk away for a moment and do something I've always talked about. Tomorrow I'm calling American Airlines and using my frequent flyer miles to book a flight to Alaska.

My question to the residents is where do I go to get a boat job right now as a total greenhorn?

If I show up in Dillingham a couple of days into the sockeye season am I too late? I don't want to get stuck on the slime line at Peter Pan.
If I show up a day or two before, so this Thursday or Friday, is there a realistic chance of me getting on a boat?

Should I aim for a different location?

I'm looking to get off the plane with a backpack full of gear and find work immediately. Is this a real life option?

I'd appreciate any advice I can get. Thanks everyone.

If it was easy, everybody would do it.
