Tuna Spotting anyone?

I am a looking to break into the helicopter industry. I have a Canadian CPL and an Australian one. I have 140 hours, in a 300 and a 47. Does anyone know anything about tuna spotting and if it is worth pursuing. I mean. Will they take on low hour pilots if I actually get down there and knock on doors? What are my chances? I am thinking about buying another 60 hours....would this be smart or basically are they going to look at a 140 hr pilot in the same way as they would a 200hr pilot. What I mean is do you think that'd make or break a job? Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I should go and who I should call? website addresses etc? Basically I'm in a postion now where I'm not really sure what to do and would really appreciate some advice from those in the know. I am more than willing to fly anywhere and live anyplace for the opportunity to fly helicopters. I just want to fly, thank you for your help
