Charter Captain Tip

[Wheresthefish]

Hi, I usually use my own boat but am going to Hilton Head and am using a guide. I am curious, what would a tip be for a $550 day trip in the bay?

Thanks,

I assume it is $75-$100 but I was not sure

here's my q's to consider:
how many are you trying to catch and what are you going for?
what's the legal bag limit?
did you catch anything?

Minimum $100. If you really like him slip him an extra $50.

Minimum $100. If you really like him slip him an extra $50.

inshore trip with just the Capt. >$50 if he is drunk and you see no fish, $50> if you see fish / offshore trip, tip the mate at least a Benjamin

I should have been more clear.... Inshore fishing for Reds.....

Thanks for your replys.

Who you using?

You boyz are generous inshore trip 8 hours 550.00 bucks. If he runs his own show and sets the price that's what I would pay him.

[What a mess]

I used to fish with an inshore guide before I got my boat he charged a fair rate to take you fishing, it pissed him off when I asked how much he'd charge if I wanted to catcth fish too.

Thanks,

I am using Bay Street Outfitters, Captain Tuck Scott.

I have paid for multiple charter services up and down the cost while on vacations and have never, I mean never caught Reds.... I hope this will be different.

I do much better myself out of St. Marks. I hate dragging my boat on vacation, finding a place to put it and then striking out on my own trying to learn the spots. I spend more time boating than fishing. Hopefully this time will pay off.

You should do well. Around Beufort and Broad river you should find some fat reds. Good Luck!!

$100 would be fine as long as you catch fish. I know where some reds are if you're interested.
