Would you rather them give you $50 or 1/2 of their winnings, if they finish in the money? You can't have both though and the offer would be made the night before.

As a Coangler EVERY pro will say $50 because they can still front-end them. laugh The only ones that say half are rookies or some of the older guys I see that aren't chasing a rainbow, they are there for fun and unless they are in top 30-40 they usually dump their fish back and give the Co all the water last couple hours. shocked

I guess it depends on the level you are fishing. Even in the individual tournaments I have always wanted my co-angler to feel it is a team effort for us to place first and second. They have alway got half of my winnings and I got half of his.

In our bass club the co angler is required to pay $40 towards expenses, and we split the winnings.

When I was younger I fished tourneys I gave $$ towards expenses up front and winnings were split 60/40. More to the boat owner due to other expenses like boat insurance and maintenance.

Are you talking about a draw style tournament, such as BFL and weekend series?
I would never expect my Co to split his winnings with me, and I highly doubt any Co would expect his boater to split his winings with them.
I don't expect much for gas and expenses in these style of tournaments. $20-30 is plenty most of the time.
In team style tournaments, I split everything 50/50 with my partner.

Yes. Draw like BFL.

Here's a monkey in the wrench, fished international team tourny in Mexico my partner and I always spilt everything winnings and expense.after we got down there they split us up,each had to fish with a Mexican and none of us could understand what the other was sayin.we had pulled my boat down so I was able to go where I wanted but dale was at the mercy of his Mexican partner. Anyway I placed 4th got pretty good check but split with my Mexican coangler then split the other half with Dale and he didn't get in the money.sure didn't end up with much

I fished as a co-angler in BFL last year mainly because I didn't know Toledo Bend and it would not have been fair for a guy to draw me there with me not knowing the lake.

I always gave $40-$50 to my boater and I usually did it before we left the ramp because I wanted him to know I wasn't going to stiff him.

I am fishing the Weekend Series on Rayburn on March 8th as a boater and I would never dream of asking the co-angler to split his winnings with me. If he catches a nice sack from the back of the boat he deserves 100% of what he wins.

I won't try to prevent him from catching fish so he will have access to the same water I'm fishing and if he outfishes the other co-anglers who were fishing in the same scenario he was, then he gets to keep his prize money.

I do hope my co-angler helps with the gas/oil expenses, however. I don't expect them to pay for half of my expenses during my prefishing day(s), but half of the tournament day's expenses I believe is justifiable.

Half of their winnings is obsurd... Unless they win 100 bucks.

If I'm team fishing we split winnings 50/50. If it's my boat I let my co angler decide how he wants to do expenses. I'm using my boat usually and I'm not gonna sweat or pressure anyone for a few bucks. The 30-50 they might contribute is fine but I don't look for it. I never take any of the co anglers earnings.

In a draw deal, I don't expect any amount of money! Just like said above, I'm trying to catch my limit while he is trying to catch his! I'm gonna fish whether he is there or not so I don't even make them pay for gas. Just something you got to bite the bullet on if you are a boater!

What Jay said! There is a huge difference between a draw and a team tournament.

Before yall go crazy on the OP, he is fishing the BFL this weekend as a coangler. He was just asking what was kosher as far as giving his boater. I think a lot of yall are assuming he's a boater and was going to put the heat on his coangler for 50%. LOL

I fish the BFL and a couple buck for gas is good enough, I don't expect them to front the bill. I'm fishing regardless. I've never hear of splitting winnings in draw tournaments, team events are different.
