22 year old looking to work as a deckie

Im not to sure if this is in the right section but anyways...im Jesse im a 22 year old guy from a labouring background and i am tired of working in dirty industrial estates i want to work on a boat doing anything i just don't know how to go about it...most of my family all fish and have had many boats throughout the years so i have been out and about on the water a fair few times..i am not experienced in the deckie role but i will give it my best and i am a quick learner if someone would give me a shot.I recently moved over here from QLD to find work i left all behind there in the hopes i could get some sort of deckie work or anything on the ocean its what i have always wanted to do since i was young.send me a message if you can give me a chance i wont let anyone down who can teach me the ropes or get my foot in the door.Thanks Jesse

 with the Job search, only suggestion i can give is to get down the marina's and have a walk around.

 Talk to any body working on a boat they might be able to point somebody out. Try freo!

 I think there a few ex commercial fish'os on here that might know a contact or two.

Good on ya Jess for having a crack. Might be an idea to front up  in person maybe Freo fishing boat harbour. If they see you're keen that's a good start.
