Last time I checked, it's only about $25/each for those bay trips, so $5 would be about a 20% tip.

If he is really good and shows me more attention during the trip.... I tip him accordingly : ) One time growing up, my dad did this to one. The deck hand took me asside and rigged up a special pole for me which caught the "big fish". I won the big fish pot and made me a really happy kid! Not sure how much dad gave him out of that pot.... but im sure it made the deck hand happy! Edited by Larry in Tawakoni (09/29/09 07:05 AM) _________________________ www.TawakoniGuide.com
