Tipping Captain and/or mate?

[chubsdad]

i am a mate on a charter boat and speaking for mates out there most mates do not get paid by the capt they rely on there TIP most mates have a lot of work to do before durring and after the trip is over. usaly set up all the gear ahead time take care of there customers durring the trip baiting un hooking etc and on the way in the mate is usaly busy cleaning fish the whole ride and after the charter has left the mate is usaly there for an hour or so cleaning the boat and getting gear ready for the next trip they do work hard to make your trip the best time . and yes 20% is norm
