Cray Fishing Hand Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the past five years on deck handling nets, pots and lines, and I know what it takes to keep the haul steady and the crew safe. In that time at [Previous Company], I helped move a daily catch of around 8 tonnes through sorting and preservation steps, keeping the chain of refrigeration and storage tight. I’m looking at [Company Name] because I value consistent performance and clear routines that stop small issues from becoming delays at sea. I bring solid hands on skills in gear attachment, net casting and haulage, plus bait preparation and running gear. I’m comfortable with basic refrigeration checks and keeping fish in good condition from deck to cold room. I’m used to following sun up to sun down schedules, and I’ve learned how to prioritise tasks when the weather turns. I’m keen to contribute to your team with practical, steady work. One afternoon last season we had a misfire with a pot line and a few hours of weather to contend with. I reattached gear, reset running lines, and helped the team sort the catch as we went. We managed to salvage around 60 per cent of the run and kept the rest aboard without incident. It was a reminder that calm, methodical actions and clear communication matter more than speed in tough conditions. I’m available for a chat about how I can fit into [Company Name] and help keep the daily cycle efficient. I can start on short notice and am happy to discuss roster patterns and on deck safety routines. Kind regards, [Your Name]
