I was finally told by Ron on the way in that The Capt. told the the mate to with hold the cod bait from me. I have been assured by the Capt. that next trip I can have some cod bait. I have also been assured by the mate that if my gratuity improves the cod bait will be available'

Overall a great day on the water.

That might just be the weirdest report i have read. Never heard of mate or captain holding out giving customer the desired bait. I am assuming the cod bait was fresh clams. Why you would not request certain bait from mate is puzzeling. Would never catch me on a boat that treated a paying customer like that.
