I dunno, never been a fan of mates fishing , especially on a charter,but hey, I could be wrong. they love to fish I realize that. Just doesn't look right sometimes, when a mate is fishing and the fares are tangled up, or waiting for help with writhing pout hanging off their hooks unattended.... bob

That sounds like a terrible trip. You must have a lot of patience because I would have blown my stack as soon as the mate didn't attend to customers and not waited to the end to complain. The mate and captain would have known about it and I would have explained if they didn't do what they were supposed to I wouldn't pay them. You have rights as a consumer. Any good charter takes a small deposit then settles up with you at the end of the day. Did you pay in full ahead or at the end of the day? I'm also hoping you didn't tip the mate.

There are a few boats like this out there...they just don't give a crap...they have enough returning customers that they don't need to make 'you' happy...pretty sad if you ask me.

These guys need to know that word is spreading of their unprofessional behavior and I'm glad you posted this, I'll be sending you a pm to get the name so I can spread the word to anyone that talks about going on a charter boat to me.

There are plenty of stand up captains and mates that could use our business so we need to start holding these 'other guys' accountable.

Re: Worst Mate Ever!! Captain ?
 

I am curious also as to whether the mate had his hand out looking for a tip?

Re: Worst Mate Ever!! Captain ?
 

Sent a PM , please send me the name of the boat

I was on a party boat years ago for tog. I was missing every bite. The mate, now the Captain of that boat, dropped on top of me and repeated" what theres no fish here" Quickly landed three fish while
Repeating the insult. Boxed up his fish and left as fast as he came. I spent the next two hours biteless. To this day if he' s the only boat sailing, I'll go home

Re: Worst Mate Ever!! Captain ?
 

Thread is useless without the name of the boat posted

Re: Worst Mate Ever!! Captain ?
 

WOW! It is hard to believe that in this day and age there is a charter boat out there with a Capt. and mate stupid enough to exhibit this type of behavior with total disregard for his paying clients. A Capt's job is to keep you safe and put you on the fish. A mates job is to help you "the client" catch the fish imo.

I wasn't there, but if it went down like you said it would be hard for me to bite my tongue and not let others know what charter boat it was.

Kiss my ass is fisherman speak for "Post my Name" so no one else makes that same mistake.
