Default Re: Why do we tip the mates?

The amount of the tip is based on the quality of the service rendered. The boats I frequent I go to because they are quality operation with stellar mates and deserve a standard 15% to 20% tips regardless if I caught fish or not. Very few incidences I walk off the boat w/o giving a tip because of the poor unprofessional or inexcusable service (very rare).
