The Summer Season is almost at an end in Alaska and along with the ice, snows and freezing temperatures come some of the highest paying jobs you can find anywhere in the world. The most famous and deadly job working during the Fall and Winter is King Crabbing. The Bering Sea is the common location for crab harvesting trawlers to work and this intense and extremely risky job might just be the thing for you.

Looking at some other fishing jobs you can find in Alaska starting from September are Mackerel, Pacific Cod, and Sablefish or Black Cod. Aside from these specific season openings at this time you can also work in the many other ongoing fisheries including the Winter Salmon, Halibut, Shrimp, Lingcod, and Pollock.

There are many types of fishing jobs you can get during the winter months in Alaska. You can easily climb aboard a gillnetting vessel, become a deckhand on a fishing trawler where you will earn a nice sum of money for the catch, or simply work at a game fishing resort where you can teach people to fish for Pink Salmon, Coho, and Chinook.

As of Monday, the Marine Area 1 region from Leadbetter Point to Cape Falcon, has reopened for ocean fishing of these fish as the quota has not yet been reached as it was expected. This means that if you want to still get a job as a tour guide or game fishing guide you can easily get some last minute Alaska fishing jobs. It is thought that the season will close at the end of September, as there are still about 14 thousand Coho in the area.

The winter season offers many other kinds of jobs in Alaska besides fishing. You can brave the icy roads and get your high salary working as an ice road trucker. You will cross treacherous terrain – basically just ice – to deliver goods. These ice road trucking jobs are dangerous, but they also pay a huge amount of money which is a great reason to get involved if you want an adventure that pays well.

Most winter jobs in Alaska require that you brave the cold and head out into the wilderness. During winter you will not expect to find many tour guide or adventure guide jobs, unless you can teach skiing or snowboarding. The snow covered terrain makes for unfriendly tourist weather, unless you can use the conditions to your advantage.

There are plenty of reasons to get winter seasonal work in Alaska, and if you don’t mind the icy weather and constant night time, you can make a pretty decent living. It will also give you a foot in the door if you are on the lookout for an interesting job in one of the most beautiful settings in the world.
