Can't see how someone would have a problem tipping properly on a $65. fare?? I see more problems on the multi day trips where the fare is $450. to $575. I saw guys tipping $30. after the mates have spent two full days prepping the bait, boat, etc. and then cleaning a cooler full of fish! Last year I actually saw a guy tip $5. on such a trip!! After a minute or so, the mate approached this guy and asked if his was unhappy with his service. After a short discussion, the guy opened his wallet. I do beleive that some might not know, others are just plain CHEAP!! The mate's tip is just part of the cost of the fishing trip, just like gas to get there, rigs, sinkers, food, etc.
