Default Re: Mates fishing during charters. OPINION

6 pack charter = don't fish. the small boat is set on a certain piece of bottom; let the paying fares catch the fish. IF they're not catching, tell them what YOU would do IF you were fishing. Give a man a fish and he'll eat today; teach him HOW to fish and he'll eat forever! Only thing worse than mate/captain catching the big fish of a piece is when THEY roll said fish lmao

Bigger charter or party boat = fish IF everyone is self sustainable. If a newbie is on board, take time to give help/hints. If everyone is ok, fish. I personally like when the captain takes the time to explain EXACTLY what you're set up on and the best way to fish it........'toss out XYZ feet and bring your bait back to the ledge'. Example - Last season Kenny/Mimi told us we HAD to toss out and be over the ledge. We tossed out and still weren't catching. HE came down, tossed out 20' further than we were tossing and pulled back to the ledge...BAM BAM BAM.

MY opinions!
