Shared catch?

[carm prez]

Can any one tell me on open boat charter are they shared catch or what you catch is yours.?

[Joey Dah Fish]

Depends on the boat. Always ask prior to booking what the boat policy is.

every boat is different, always ask at time of booking. I have done it both ways sometimes good, sometimes very bad!

It's a pretty common practice, especially when fishing for Tuna and Shark.

If you went on a pb for tuna to the canyon would you share your yellowfin with the other patrons? When you go on a six pack for bluefin tuna the catch is shared because of the ridiculous limit of two fish.

I went on a 10 pack shared charter we all agreed to split catch which I have no problem with. The problem I have is when 4 of the guys don't fish and the other 4 are newbies and 2 of us busted our nuts landing fish jigging chunking and staying up for 26 hrs etc. Then when we hit the doc the a-holes that slept and did not bust ass want more then their share because they have "people " they promise some fresh tuna for. If I have the chance I will take what I catch good or bad ( exept if we are trolling ) because they are the boats catch not a persons. I hate to be that way but have been burned once too many times!!!
