If so, we very kindly ask you to list us, Fiona or Jerry from A Couple of Drifters, as a referral on your Leader Creek job application.****
Thank you so much Phillip! You can mention either of us - Gerald Scott of Fiona Lawless. As returning employees , we just received an email from Leader Creek - here's what is says about referrals: "We will be offering a $300 referral bonus for each employee you refer who completes their season. Both you and your referral must be eligible for rehire at the end of the season. Maximum of 6 referrals per employee. *Remember to have your referrals mention you in their application and interview to be eligible for the bonus* We really appreciate this - thank you Phillip! 🥰🥰
@@ACoupleofDrifters I’ll be sure to mention it if they call for an interview. That’s pretty good money if you can manage to get maximum referrals and they all finish the season!
Hi Phillip. We must apologize to you for any confusion we may have caused regarding the referral bonus for the 2024 season. We assumed the referrer and the person referring would each get a bonus if they completed the season. This is wrong - only the person listed as a referrer will get a bonus if both parties complete the season. We have reached out to Leader Creek and they have clarified this for us. Again, we apologize for any confusion we may have created and from our pinned comments section we've removed mention of a potential bonus to those referring us.
Guys, good afternoon! I received an offer to go work in Alaska at Costal Alaska Seafoods LLc in July, does anyone know or work at this place?? I'm excited to go, but I'm scared that something is wrong and that it's not exactly what they're proposing.
Hello Amanda. We are very sorry we are just replying to you now. We have just finished up our third season at Leader Creek in Naknek and we have not had access to wi-fi whilst there since June 15th. We hope everything worked out for you at Coastal Alaska Seafoods LLC. Did you accept the job offer? If so was it what they proposed? Please let us know about your experience as it may be helpful to others.
Thanks a million Marthe for taking the time to share our video, especially as we know you are busy getting packed and ready to head down to Mazatlán. We're sorry it's taken us a while to get back to you, we're back on the road! Hopefully our next video will reveal our latest destination 😉! Thanks again Marthe for all of your kindness 🥰🤗🥰🤗.
Bama Socks are essential, in our opinion. These Bama Socks are worn over your regular socks and they wick-away the moisture your feet will generate while wearing waterproof boots. Bama Socks will keep your feet warm and dry. You may want to order Bama Socks one-size-up from your regular foot size.

hi guys! I was told I will be getting tickets for the 12th or 14th (Silver bay, Ketchikan) this month but nothing yet, I emailed them a couple of times and they keep replying with "We''ll contact you should a spot open up". I flew to another state just for this and prepared buying all the things you recommended in your videos. Do you have any suggestion on what should I do? or is it possible they end up never taking me there?
Hi Barbara and massive apologies for just getting back to you now. We've just finished up our third season ourselves at Leader Creek in Naknek, Alaska and we have not had access to wi-fi since June 15th. We really hope everything worked out for you there at Silver Bay, Ketchikan. Please let us know if you ended up working there and if so, how it was? Again we apologise for our tardy response to you.
A very good vid for those just starting out, some freezers can reach 40 below remember it's always cheaper to buy your own gear if you're going to be on a vessel and don't forget to get some ibuprofen for the first couple of weeks.
Being that you’re a couple, my question is how simple it was for you to find jobs for the both of you at the same place. Also did you both work the same hours and have the same sleeping quarters?
Our apologies for such a late response. We just returned from working in Alaska and we had little or no contact via internet for many weeks. Leader Creek was very accommodating to us as a couple and we hope other places would be the same. Leader Creek put us in a room for two - this is something they do for couples, friends and family members if space permits. As roommates we worked the same hours however we don't know if this is always the case.
Hello and Happy New Year James. We're grand. We hope you're keeping well too. Thank you for sharing our video, we really appreciate it. We'll be returning for a third time to Leader Creek this summer! Those back to back 16 hour days have not deterred us 😉 😉.
Our apologies for such a late response. We just returned from working in Alaska and we had little or no contact via internet for many weeks. Yes, Leader Creek can arrange for couples to travel and live together. It would be best to request this to HR staff as soon as possible.
Emilio! It's so lovely to hear from you. Thanks a million for tuning in. Please share our videos with anyone you know who's interested in salmon processing. Hopefully we'll see you again this summer in Naknek. 🥰🤗🥰🤗
Hello Richard. Thank you for your lovely comment and apologies for our very late response. We are back on the road travelling again. We are actually en route to Naknek, Alaska for another sockeye salmon season.

Do all vessels have, onshore processing facilities??? I'm going to O'Hara on my first trip soon. What are some onshore processing facilities,I could apply for. Most I see is vessels u have to work on. Also do the facilities get paid the same as u work on the vessels. Also can u work on vessel,one season then facility next season??
Hello Derek, Sorry for the late response to you. Some vessels process onboard and some offload their catch to onshore facilities. There are quite a few onshore facilities around the Bristol Bay area in Alaska. The southeast panhandle of Alaska is another area where numerous onshore facilities are found. We're not exactly sure how pay rates differ between onshore and offshore work. Yes, you can work a vessel one year and then work onshore the next. Depending on the time of year you are working and the type of fish you are working with, you can even finish up one job and move on to another right away - many people in the industry do this and travel all around Alaska from one job to the next.
Sometimes they'd put up a transfer sign up sheet on ur Icicle boat..if u cared to go to another shore facility u get on the list for changing ....to PFI in petersBurg in our case that Summer.
Hello. Firstly massive apologies for taking a few days to get back to you. We're currently travelling and wi-fi is incredibly unreliable at the moment (to say the least)! We're glad to hear you're returning to Leader Creek this year. What's your name? I'm hoping your name might jog my memory of you. We don't know of any places hiring right now in Alaska, but you could check out Coolworks.com website. This was how we originally found Leader Creek ourselves back in 2022. It advertises a tonne of seasonal jobs all over the United States. It's also possible that someone looking through the comments on here may have some information on companies that are hiring in Alaska.
HELLO, It was good to watch this video, I live in the middle of the Amazon, it's a very very hot place, I don't even have clothes like that, I can see that I'll have to prepare a lot!
Hello. We've never worked on a vessel. We're actually currently sitting in Anchorage airport en route to our third salmon season at Leader Creek Fisheries in Naknek, Alaska! Hopefully someone who has worked both on land and on a vessel might jump on here and let you know how they may differ and about their experiences. We reckon it's got to be very interesting to work on a boat. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Hey you guys and gals..I have been up 15 times..on land several Summers & a Winter in Dutch harbor too for crab season. Been to St Matthew Island for crab processing 5 times ..but I've been away awhile. I'd really like to talk with anyone who can tell me how it's going this year? Setting here with my cat in Baja watching the Sunset tonite. My name is Forest.
I saw my Lead guy from O.B.I. in India walking on the sandy beach road. Saw a different guy I knew sort of from the Seattle hostel 1 full moon night in Guatemala at Lake Atitlan. Never spoke before or since..we shook hands, he said he was going up on a contract with Trident in January...parted ..never saw that old Italian man again. He was cool though. I found out. I really need a job now ..ICICLE was my Go to Ship...now it's bought by OCEAN BEAUTY..O.B.I. IS the place for me..I really wanna get back on the ship I served on most. It's renamed the GORDON JENSEN.
We found the temperatures in this part of Alaska to be mostly cool during summer. We've experienced a few instances where the temperatures were warmish, but not for much of the day. The processing plant is always a cold environment and we never seemed to be over-dressed for the temperatures in there!
Any info on glacier fish company. I’m going on the boat here pretty soon. Taking my drug test tomorrow. There are no videos on TH-cam at all about glacier fish company.
We don't know for certain if they hire truckers to move the finished product from the processing plant. You can reach out to the company to see if they hire truck drivers, or hopefully someone will come along and answer your question. There isn't much paved road in, around and through this part of Alaska and so much of the goods coming and going from here are shipped in or flown in. We don't think any long-haul truck routes exist here.
I went up two sizes and Fiona went up one. At Leader Creek you can try on the free boots and the for-purchase boots before taking them. In this case we suggest a few pair of socks on your feet while trying boots on. You'll be on your feet for 16 hours each day so make sure the fit is comfortable.
I have another question. I have a pair of HUK Deck boots which is a shorter boot than the boots in the video. Do you think those would be ok to use or do you have to use the company boots?
We cannot say for certain if shorter boots would be allowed. We would strongly recommend knee-high boots. In the past a few folks have brought their own, non-company provided knee high boots. In previous seasons Leader Creek mentioned that they only approve the boots which they provide, however this may have changed since. Bring this up during your interview - you should get a definite answer.
@@ACoupleofDrifters Thanks for the input. I'll just ask during the interview if they ever call me 😆 Picked up my wool socks and clothesline, I nearly have everything I need (hopefully). How many pair of thermals do you think is enough, 3? Thanks for being so helpful guys.
Thanks for taking our advice on the clothesline. We're glad you bought one for this purpose, rather than the purpose we bought it for! 🦌🚗 We still have it and it'll come with us again this season. Three pair of thermals is a good amount to bring. There have been days when we've worn two thermals. Again we cannot stress enough how important it is to keep the front and back of your neck covered - the back of the neck is a major thermal point on the body. Your mention of the deck boots - do you have experience in this industry?
@@ACoupleofDrifters Worked at a beef processing plant in Kansas for a bit. I bought the boots specifically for fishing with so probably better to just get new ones anyway. I’m just concerned about packing too much or not enough stuff.
Your experience could look good in your application. 😎 Indeed, bringing too much [or too little] could be a headache. The free boots Leader Creek provides are adequate for Fiona and me. Having said that, I have also worn the Xtratuf boots and to me they seem more comfortable than the free boots. If you go with the company-provided boots, you will be allowed to try them on. Try on the free boots and then try on the others and see which ones suit you best. The Xtratuf and Grundens boots are sold to employees at cost price - $50 taken out of your paycheck. These sell for $150 in stores and online. If you think you may buy boots from Leader Creek, make sure to leave some space in your bag so you can bring the boots back home, or wear them on the flight back. These are good quality boots and you'll have them for many years.

For the 2023 season our net pay was just over $10,000 each. There are no guarantees with this job when it comes to how much one will earn in a season - it could be more than what we netted in 2023, less than...or much less than. Have you applied, or are you thinking about applying?
@ACoupleofDrifters I worked at Westward Seafoods in Dutch Harbor from 2017-2019. That's what I usually made too. I haven't been out to Alaska since but I will be going out there to Dillingham in 2weeks. Not for seafood processing but work for a commercial fishing store. 7 days a week and 10hrs everyday
Your job in Dillingham this season sounds like an easier pace than processing can be! We wish you all the best this season and let us know how it goes for you.
@ACoupleofDrifters Thank you I appreciate it. Yea i think the easiest thing about this job so far that I know of is that I won't be having roommates and have a whole apartment to myself. Other than that the work is pretty hard from what I'm told but hey I do miss being with everyone at the processing plant. Have a good one and wish the best of luck for the both of you

Other than that the work is pretty hard from what I'm told but hey I do miss being with everyone at the processing plant. Have a good one and wish the best of luck for the both of you
Thank you, and enjoy your own apartment this season!
