how much should i tip the mate on a chartered fishing trip
When I worked charters up in NY, the tip I received from the charter group included my efforts to clean the day's catch. On a trip out of Atlantic Beach, NC (My first charter trip in NC) we tipped the mate $250, expecting that he would clean the fish.

Thanks to everyone for all the VERY helpful information that is shared! We are doing a private charter all day deep sea fishing trip one day ($800). When I booked it, I was told that the tip for the 1st mate was not included.
