Deploy, haul, and reset lobster and stone crab traps in designated offshore fishing areas using vessel equipment and manual labor. Remove catch from traps and measure to ensure compliance with legal size requirements. Connect accessories such as floats, weights, ropes, and buoys to traps and lines. Load and unload traps and catch by hand or using hoisting equipment. Sort, pack, and store catch aboard the vessel using ice and proper handling procedures. Wash and clean decks and vessel equipment using brushes, detergents, and water. Assist in monitoring navigational and fish-finding equipment during offshore operations. Job duties are performed aboard a commercial fishing vessel during offshore operations. On-land duties are limited to pier-side loading and unloading, and vessel preparation between trips.
