This stuff has been on this site for years of controversy.
Many say the mate should get 20% no matter what. If he filets fish. If you dont catch a single fish too. Some are lazy. Some break their a*s.
Usually small charter boats its more personal. While I've been on party boats and the guy was useless. Walked around BS'ing with his "regulars" while everyone was getting their own bait.
20% is a ball park tip with a lots of wiggle room from 0% to over 20%.
